local dealers have Connect3D ATI9700 PRO priced US$200 only.
The box is very compact, only driver included.
I have never encountered Connect3D product, anyone out there offer comment ?
BTW, Grandmars 9800PRO priced US$455 dollars. I guess the 9800 should not have doubled the performance and capabilities from 9700PRO.

Check the memory and clock speeds. They might be (and probably are at that price) slower than the retail version.

The little box has their web-site printed :
www.connect3d.com

I have checked the retail price and seems that the local shop has got the item out of VAT, hence render the price attractive.
None of my friends has encountered the product of this label, hence I hesitate.
