That's just a 9800, it is not a 9800 Pro.

From the reviews on Newegg:
This card easily overclocked to 9800 pro levels without any sweat

 

[CU]

That is not a pro, look at the clock speeds.

 

[stonep]

Yes, for $160 for a 9800 SE is a "soft" deal imho. Pros can be had for not much more,

 

[PsychoCrazy]

Nice price. OOS already.

I have a 9800 pro retail for 170$ still for sale. It would come with full retail everything.

re: Newegg refurbs. If your card blows up after the 15 day Newegg warranty, are you SOL? Or will manufacturer's fix OEM/refurbs?

It goes to manufactorer at that point.

 

[amheck]

So if the manufacturer has a 3 year warranty, then the newegg refurb would be covered for those 3 years?

Newegg will send you a barebone card, maybe even a few burn marks, not worth it methinks

better off paying for a new one for 20$ more that comes with a core upgradable to XT speeds, and a ATI warranty.

Watch out. That's a Sapphire card. Might not be a real 9800 Pro since they were selling some butchered 128-bit 9800 Pro's recently. If you're in the market for a 9800 Pro, go for this one instead. A lot of people have been reporting that they've been getting it with a 9800XT core.
