Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The "bling bling" of video cards
Review: With the 9800 pro you won't even have to read specs on the back of game boxes. Why? Because the 9800 pro was used to benchmark the game.

Yes, ATI had a bit of trouble with drivers, but so did Nvidia. If you're in doubt regarding the peformance, check tomshardware, or anandtech. Case closed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Clearly the best gaming card currently available.
Review: You may want to ignore the reviews of these other people who spent hundreds on a top quality video card without knowing what it is used for. If you don't know how to resize your desktop, do not buy this video card. If you think an expensive video card will help you to play DVDs, do not buy this video card.

But if you're into gaming or other applications that need serious graphics processing power, the 9800 Pro is without a doubt the most powerful video card out there, excluding the ones that are crazy expensive. In benchmark tests, it consistently rates #1 across the board of all commonly used video cards. Sure, you can get OK graphics with cheaper video cards, but if you want to pay a bit more for the best quality graphics, this is the one you want. It's worth the investment... it will be a very long time (2 years + minimum) before this will be anywhere near the low end of the spectrum, and probably twice as long before an application will even be invented that the Radeon 9800 Pro can't handle.
