Question ATI Radeon XT Question


Hey guys, i need a lil help, im at work and im just looking to buy a ATI Radeon 9800 DDR XT (As you do when ur bored) and came up with 2 products from Ebuyer (who ive used for all my other parts and trust).

Unfortunatly im not very good at deciphering all the big words they use on these components so if you could be so kind to have a quick look and give me your professional opinions i would be most grateful!

ATI Cards HERE

In case the link is temporary ill post below the specs of the 2:

[First card]
Sapphire Radeon 9800XT 256MB DDR DVI TV-Out Retail Box With Half-Life 2 Voucher = �315.45 inc VAT

[Second card]
Creative Radeon 9800XT 3D AGP8X 256MB DDR Dx9 DVI TV-Out Retail Box = �377.10 inc VAT

Thanks guys, you'll see this post on other forums so sorry for the spam but im looking for an answer asap, at least by the time i get home so :P

Lo Breed

Get the Sapphire one

Both cards are exactly the same, but prices are different, that's all there is to it

Edit - Click Here
The bottom card on that list is a 256mb 9800XT with a voucher for HL2, oh, and look at the price

Creative make ATi and nVIDIA cards, they use MSI Cards for their nVIDIA range, and BBATI (Built By ATi) cards for their ATi range. Difference is, they sell the cards at a pretty high price, and don't get alot of sales because of that.
