    More Competition for nVidia? Radeon 9800 PRO MAXX (UPDATED)

    Actually it says they solved several heat problems but that the product is not even close for commercialization.

    Saphire 9800 pro 128mb @ Newegg 300$ or 350$

    The problem is that the 350$ it's already OEM, 360$ for the retail version, and they can't strip a more then that. I'm thinking their listing is wrong...

    Tales of horror

    A month ago, i bought a 9200 128mb Sapphire for an old computer my father has.

I decided to take out the video card to use it for another computer, but...
