Are the Sapphire ATI RADEON 9700 Atlantis PRO 128MB good cards?I cant find a built by ati 9700 pro so this is the pretty much only option at newegg, is this a good card?

might want to read about how the sapp radeon9500's can be softmodded into a 9700 before you spend the money.
no hardware adjustment necessary, it's done through a modded driver. However, not 100% of cards can be modded.

just remember to put er in the microwave for like 3 seconds if it doesnt work...

Sapphire cards are very good. They also make the built by ATI cards. The 9700pro is a great choice. A 9500NP modded into a 9700pro gives your great performance but, and this is a big BUT, only 50% of the cards successfully softmod.

the mod will not cause damage if the card isnt moddable.
