Maybe this was a price error. Nothing shows up at the $90 mark in the sorted-by-price listing of video cards.

eVGA eVGA nVidia Geforce 6200 128MB DDR AGP 8X Video Card, model 128-A8-N339-LX - Retail $88.05
MSI MSI nVIDIA GeForce PCX 5750 128mb 16x PCI-Express VIVO - Retail Box $88.75
Sapphire Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 PRO 256MB Advantage, AGP 8X, DVI, TV-Out, Lite Retail $90.85
PowerColor PowerColor T55-PO3 ATI Theater 550 PRO PCI $92.95
 
Yeah I am not sure why they changed the picture. The card still comes up at $90. Maybe they ran out of the passively cooled ones?

Specs:

Chipset / Core Speed: ATI Radeon 9800Pro U / 380MHz
Memory / Effective Speed: 128mb DDR / 680MHz (256 bit)

I am assuming the Lite here refers to the package. Usually lite package has nothing but a cable for the PSU. This is an OEM version however. Once someone gets the card they should report back here with what it actually is. I would never want someone to go off my link and get burned.

As it appears now, it's still a good deal.
 
LOL, they just called me and left me a message. Some Asian lady that had a horrible accent called to let me know that card was correct as described but the picture they had initially was incorrect. The picture now on there is suppose to be the correct card. Which is a 9800pro, 128MB, 256 bit card.
 
It's $120 shipped at Newegg for a refurb. They've got pics of the passive cooling unit too, it's a 256-bit card btw. Check it out. Wonder what the deal is.
Edit: And here's the card new for $150 sum odd.
They probably meant 'Ultimate' edition, not "Ultra". Sapphire calls their passively cooled units Ultimate, and Lite refers to the retail version (Full or Lite).

The correct terminology (Politically correct) is Strong Accent not Horrible accent 😀😀😀.

But then again... Sapphire Atlantis Ultra, they could just have the wrong manufacturer P/N. This card looks identical to the one they have pictured, same model # (100567) and it's got TSOP RAM instead of BGA. Their card also has a floppy power connector instead of the traditional molex, wtf is this thing.

Another Link showing the card with TSOP instead of BGA.

So there is a 9800 pro with a floppy connector and black PCB, this deal may turn out to be alright after all. Whoever ordered let us know what mystery card you receive when it arrives.
 
I talk to the sapphire sales and tech after showing them the picture and they told me this is a 9800pro but old version (2003-2004) and the picture was before, with a big heatsink pipe is a new model. so, actbuy is showing the right model wit the right picture now.
fyi, it's oem but actbuy was kind enough to addd those goodies ( cable,adapter,cd) just to sweeten the deal(ala retail stuff), good job!!
and your right it is samsung memory, niceeee
btw, i just got two and will get it on monday. for 90.00 heck i still think it's still a bargain
