9700 Pro or 9800 Pro

[KPJ]

I'm looking for advice in, which card to pick.

Powercolor 9700 Pro 150$

Powercolor 9800 Pro 225$

Both cards are OEM. This isn't a bad thing right?

What my question is:
How much difference in 3DMark will I have with a 9800 Pro over 9700 Pro? I'm going to vmod the card, regardless of 9700 Pro or 9800 Pro...

Rest of the rig:
DFI LP NFII B
Athlon 2100+ DUT3C AIUHB
2*512 OCZ Platinum Limited Edition PC3200 (BH-6)
2*36GB Raptors (RAID0)

Dosn't OEM mean no heatsink?

Get 9800pro :)

Um no, OEM means no extras.

LOLZ, yeh OEM cards come with heatsinks man dw:D
get the R9800PRO for sure, they are awesome cards and if you can afford it i think theyre well worth it, they overclock FAR better then R9700pro's and have several other minor enhancements that help out quite abit. Oh and they kick ass in 3dmark:)

Where can you get that 9700pro for 150?

Definitely get the 9800pro. It'll o/c further on stock cooling than a 9700 will with a copper cpu heatsink.
