Gigabyte vs. Sapphire (9600 Pro)

No talk, just vote. I want the card pumping out the best frame rates and doesn't need extra cooling in order to do so.

Does anyone know a site that gives 3dmark '03 results on both these cards?

I voted Sapphire, but get the XT instead. Faster clock speeds and supports ATI's Overdrive incorporated in Catalyst 3.10 drivers.

The shop I'm buying from doesn't have the XT, is the PRO still better than Gigabyte's offering?

I don't see a problem with Gigabyte - ATI maintains pretty high standards for their cardmakers, unlike Nvidia.

Both the Gigabyte and the Sapphire you list are Pro versions.

Go with Sapphire.
