all brands of 9700 are great. FIC is the value end with less of a bundle (if anything) and very good build quality...just built a box for a buddy of mine using an FIC 9700Pro

both me an a buddy grabbed fic's from newegg

i have only two words: absolutely beautiful

no software or crap, just whitebox version of the card including dvi->vga converter, and svideo to rca convert with extra rca extension cable

it looks great and performs like a dream. i've not had a single problem with it yet

Looks nice I got the 9500pro version. Can't see the gold colored heatsink though. Since it's facing down but nice card and it works.
