At Newegg they have 2 Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pros. The only differences I can see is the fan and price. Anyone know which one is better?

$204 US

my choice would be the one for 204. looks like you would get better cooling off of the exposed pins.

Nevermind, I just realized I can put the $6 difference towards getting a VGA Silencer. Getting a $200 card, mine-as-well spend the extra $16 to make it quiet.

one of them is the r350 core and the other is the r360 core - one of them is just a disguised 9800 xt - they dropped the 9800 line and just hide and slow down the 9800 xt to create it a 9800 pro
