In summary, the Crucial Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB is still a decent card. The most important drawbacks don't emanate from the card itself. Rather, it's ATI's current product hierarchy that goes against it. Given a free hand to choose a 3D accelerator, we'd opt for either a standard Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB card, which is competitively priced at £210 including delivery at Crucial, or one of the barrage of 9800XTs that just cross the £300 barrier.
