My new graphics card!! is there a catch??

[Maximilian]

Hey im fed up with my nice pc being crippled with a crappy graphics card so ima buy an 9800 PRO but theres like tons of diffrent makes and they all seem to differ a lot in price. I found this http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=122901&cks=SER
Its only £135 which seems damned good compared to the rest. Is there a catch here?? is this card good??
Also i currently have a geforce 5200FX in a k8t800 NEO mobo. Will the 9800 PRO fit and work with my mobo??

I bought this one, and it rocketh

Looks good to me. They're only selling those for like USD$230 on this side of the pond. The ones you have to watch out for are the 9800SE cards, but that's definitely a Sapphire 9800Pro.

i would suggest the non lite version, but that one would still kick butt

i got my non lite from overclockers.co.uk gor £199.

Why ? What's the difference?

From what ive seen, its just software, the card should be the same.

Yea what does lite mean? it there much of a diffrence between lite and the alternative?

 

[Matthias99]

AFAIK, it's just an OEM card -- no software package, maybe shorter warranty. Nobody's reported Sapphire selling underclocked R9800Pros or anything like that.

What's a "switch card"?

 

[Maximilian]

No software??? does that mean it wont work or does it not make much of a difference?? if it does make a difference should i buy one with software or just but this one and download software from somwhere if thats possible (im a 56ker btw).

O and a switch cards just a credit card basically dosent matter anyways cuz it accepts master card and i got one of those so payments all fine.

Soviet,you can buy the retail Sapphire 9800 Pro from CCL Computers

[Maximilian]

Thanks dude i ordered myself a card

Will it fit? Well, the FX5200 fit, didn't it? AGP cards fit in AGP slots pretty well.

 

[Maximilian]

lol good point
