9600 Pro Ultra vs 9700 NP

[anomaly]

The Pro Ultra is ~$20 cheaper. If I went Pro Ultra id go with Sapphire or Power Color, and the NP would be Saphire OEM fom mwave. Which will perform/oc better?

My guess would be 9700np I think it has more pipelines, then again it is only a guess.

Go with the 9700 NP ,it has more pipelines and the 256 bit bus rather then 128 bit bus that`s on the 9600 Pro,this will be noticeable the more you turn up the res with AA/AF settings.

It`s true the 9600 Pro is a great overclocker but for the extra $20 the 9700NP is the better buy IMHO.
