    Which 9800 Pro asap

    Buying a decent graphics card at last. Decided on a 9800 pro 128mb. Don't know which one is the best. Going too be overclocking it. Also will be buying the arctic cooling vga heatsink so would the Hightech ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Iceq be a better choice. Got a price limit of about £180.

    Sapphire is the best one to buy mate, especially as your overclocking.

    When it comes down to it if you are going to take the cooler off it anyway the best ones probably the cheapest one. Having said that its prob the Sapphire lite at komplett for 145.

    £180 will get you your choice of card, though there really is little to choose between them - especially since you plan on changing the cooler.

    i've seen frequent problems from people with driver irregularities in the slightly modified asus drivers & cards though, so go for something more based on the reference design, such as sapphire or powercolor.

    I personally have a ice-q, and cannot fault it! overclocks without any probs, and runs cooler than any other 9800 pro AS STANDARD!! please dont quote me on "mine is water cooled"

    Personally BUY BUY BUY, PC world sell it now @ 199.99 quid
