Correct me if I'm wrong but I've been on a few oc radeon sites and they all pretty much agree that the msi radeon 9800 pro is the best radeon card. The reason for this is because the core is an xt core R360. The bios will detect these cards after installing the driver as an xt without flashing as an xt. There were some people saying that the capacitors look cheap but they also say that it is a good oc card and has good heat disipation.
On the other hand the Saphire looks to be a well built card but unfortunately only has a R350 core.
ATI built cards are not good for oc.

    come on guru, its the guys 1st post.

    and shit ya i would ask questions before buying a 10000 000 $ card.


    i think all radeon 9800pro 256meg cards have the XT core.
    but at that price, i would dump a bit more $ and get a genuine ATI product (for warranty reasons)
