whats the best graphics card thats under $200 eVGA 5900se????

[fleaman]

Is the 5900se a good deal or should i go with the sapphire 9800 pro for $212???????

I suggest the 9800 Pro. Is the 5900SE different than the 5900 Ultra? Either way go with a 9800 Pro.

ya the 9800 Pro. You can flash the 5900SE bios to a 5900 and maybe the 5900 ultra if you are lucky.

is sapphire a good brand to buy from, from what i've read, the heat sink and fan they use on that card sucks. If i wanted to upgrade that what kind of hsf should i get for the 9800

Remember that he wants something under 200 USD. I would suggest the PowerColor Radeon 9700 Pro at <a href="http://www.newegg.com">Newegg</a> for 196 USD. Otherwise, the Sapphire Radeon 9800 PRO 128 is about 220 USD - a better performance than the 5900 SE from a sizable margin, but more expensive. The same can be said for the 9700PRO - better than the GF, but a few dollars more.

Hope that helps,
