Sapphire 9600 Ultimate vs Pro

[tallman45]

Sapphire sells a 9600 pro and a 9600 pro Ultimate, the later replaces the stock fan with a large heatsink. Has anyone tried this ? Is it worth the extra $40 ? I am looking at building a fast ,cool, but very quiet system for a client

Very quiet = worth it

But IMO, not that much of a difference

if i recall, you also get a pretty nice game bundle if you get the ultimate

It's certainly quiet, but you may have to compensate with adequate case flow.

Your client may be interested in this card as well. Look at and read about the IceQ cooler from HIS. The cooler should be available separately in a few weeks, too, which makes it very attractive for the much faster 9800's.

where can you get this card? i can't find it anywhere in the U.S. actually i found only two stores selling HIS products, and i couldn't find the Ice Q card at either place.
