I would get a 6600gt or 6800nu, but if I couldnt find one, a 9800pro 128mb. No point in paying extra for the ram unless you are going to run 1600x1200+ with anti-alaising.

I used to use a VGA silencer for my old sapphire 9800pro 128mb but since i dont have that card any more im looking for a new cooler
too for my new sapphire 9800pro 256mb card, the one with 16 memory chips on it, will the new range of arctic cooling silencers fit ok?
i was a little unsure if it made much difference with it having 16 memory chips on the card?

Anyhow which one would you recomend me get as they all look nice, if im correct the version 1 is for 9800pro's?

yes i would also liek to know this question.

but i woudl liek first ahnd experiance with this. because as just found out, the ati silencer 3 wil NOT fit the sapphire p800pro 256mb with 16ram chips.

what will fit?

the one that i have has the r360 core and xt pcb but does not have the thermal monitering chips + it has 16 , 16mb ram chips

edit:
will an ati silancer 1 fit sence it doesn't have the ram cooler?
