Is this a pretty good card to buy, what are its benches and stuff. Please dont say buy an x850xt pl or anything like that, i simply want to know about the card.

They have the sapphire X700Pro For 169. It Just doesnt come with any Games. Heck the games arnt that great anyways Save some beans and get the Sapphire.

Its a good card, If you got the PCIexpress mobo to go with it.

a 9800pro is faster...if you want a decent card get an x800pro

Dangit i said to not tell me to buy an x800pro, i clearly know they exist and the guy im building this comp for does not need that card.

Ahhh If its a build, Then YES Its a good card. Only 128bit, But the ddr3 makes up for it somewhat. Plus the clocks are Good. As i said, Save some cash, and get the sapphire, Its almost 90 bucks cheaper and you make a better proffit if your chargeing for it.

The sapphire was in stock lastnight when i checked. Also, The ATI built is $199.

Good Luck, Its a card i would use for my first PCIExpres build. The Benches Look pretty good to me.

Hope this helped.

Actually, I have both a 9800pro and a X700pro and while they're not in the same system (obviously) I find the x700pro is a slightly faster card.

All in all I'd say a 9800pro is roughly equivalent to a x700pro.

Kind of odd, but the retail built by ATi card is exactly same price as the Sapphire here in Toronto.

I have the ASUS x700pro, and it is a decent card, i have it watercooled, and overclocked to 465/950, puts down 126fps in source vid test, i got it shipped off ebay for 165 buck's..... :thup:
