Best type of 9500 pro?

[gdevilman]

After reading into these forms I have found the best graphics card for me would be the 9500 pro. I have seen people saying they have found it for $160. When i look at sites like pricewatch i find generic brands like Sapphire, PowerColor, Atlantis, and not too many more. I was wondering if any of you on this board know what brand would be best for the dollar and, if possible, have a link to the website with these low prices. Would you see a difference in which type of card you buy? Any help with these prices would be greatly appriciated<---- gg no spell check . Thanks again.

If you can pick up a Sapphire, that would be good. Identical to ATi's own.
I got mine from ATi, though I almost bought a Visiontek card.
I'm not going to quote you prices, because I dont shop online.
I got my card from a store.

I agree with GW, I have the sapphire card and think it's fantastic. Can't compare to other vendors cause i've only used mine. I bought Sapphire because I heard the best things about their products and I have not be dissappointed at all. In my opinion, the 9500 Pro is the best card for the money, no doubt about it!

Agree'd.
I wasnt going to buy a new card at all, but the more I started thinking about the 9500Pro's disapearing, I just had to get one.
Having every review site on the web give it two thumbs up helped also.
