After hearing the communnity's phenomal success on the forums regarding the 9800 np's price and o/c potential I am hopping on the bandwagon and buying one.
After careful shopping, I found that I can get an oem sapphire online for $240 or a retail ati from bestbuy for $250. I live in California so I would have to pay sales tax on either one (shopping online would only save me $10). I've searched the forums regarding the memory and know that almost all np's have the slower one.
My question is asides from a fancy,manual, box and longer warranty is if others on this forum have received different memory on the ATI brand 9800 non pros vs the sapphire ones. I would also like to ask others their gpu core o/c results on the ATI brand.
Thanks in advance,
