Might just be an overclocked 9800 Pro. I'd be careful, if I were you.

Waste of $$, IMO....

Nothing but an R9800256 with a massive cooling unit on it....

Its from Sapphire so im sure its nothing to be worried about. It looks like they are just overcharging for adding a Zalman like cooler on it to make it silent, maybe they overclocked it but I doubt it.

Zalmans dont cost 100 bucks though... but... screwing up on putting your own Zalman on... could cost you $450.

Its for those who want silent cooling and are scared of modding... so I wouldnt worry about it.

just the zalman heatpipe. Instead of doing it urself and losing the warranty, they do it for you, but i say a nice watercooling block is a hella lot better than that crap, ive had it before, nothing special.....

The only difference between this and a regular Saphire 9800Pro is that this comes with the zalman silent heat pipe cooler and RTCW and Soldier of Fortune II.

That said, a zalman costs 35$ and both those games are 30$ a peice. I doubt its worth the money over a regular 9800Pro.
