Whats better?
Gigabyte 9600 pro 128mb (400/300 I think)
Sapphire 9600 advantage pro 128 (400/330) I have a strange feeling that the memory on the sapphire is underclocked(i know you can overclock it) plus its got a access speed of ns5 compare to the gigabyte's ns 3. Overclocking wise the gigabyte appears to be the best clocking at (505/315). Also the placement of the "pro" in sapphire's card worries me. Anyone with first hand experience of these cards? Thanks |

The "Advantage" card should have a default memory speed of 446 MHz (223
DDR). This is still above the rated speed for 5 ns RAM (1000/5 = 200). Blame this on Sapphire's large OEM whitebox presence. It's parent company PC Partner makes cards for everyone, including ATi... Some of the slower-clocked cards, intended for system builders, make their way to retail. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
