As topic says, I'm in the market for a 9800PRO.

I will order from Newegg and the cheapest one is this one, Gigabyte GV-R98P128D for $352:

I'm not going to do any overclocking, just want to see how ATi cards and drivers works.
Is it good, or should I choose the ATI OEM SAPPHIRE RADEON 9800 PRO for only $6 more?

Bottom line:
All I want is the stock performance of a 9800PRO 128MB for the best price.

Thank you!
 
for 6.00 more...the sapphire is a better card...even at stock...and if you decied to OC it later on...will be a bettter OCer also...

Exacly what makes it better, even at stock?
 
I wouldn't say the saphire is a better card than a gigabyte except for overclocking. Saphire is a good company but Gigabyte is a very reliable company in all the products they make. I would go for them especially if its cheaper.
