We received two different versions of this card during our testing, with the only difference being the housing and cooler system used.

One of the top performing cards in our round-up, the Sapphire was also an award contender this month. It was the fastest overall RADEON 9800 PRO card, and gave the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra cards a real run for their money, which is especially impressive as it's $100 cheaper than the Leadtek A350 5900 Ultra.

Missing out on an award by a hair's breadth, MSI blew the other cards away in most departments.

The RX 9800 PRO is another card based on the RADEON 9800 PRO GPU that returned reasonable default resolution results, but slipped under in higher resolution synthetic benchmarking.

You would be excused from having the word 'hot' pop into your head when you first set eyes on the Gainward FX 5900.

Another of the RADEON 9200 cards in this round-up. Returning almost identical results to the Auriga 9200, this is an average performer, bundled with an outdated game.
