Newegg has a SAPPHIRE RADEON 9700 PRO 128MB DDR TV/DVI 8X AGP listed for $335 w/ free FedEx Saver shipping.

Looks like an OEM part.

It is OEM- Says right in the description: "Model#: RADEON 9700 PRO 128M -OEM "

Good price - free shipping as well. I just wish Newegg didn't charge tax to CA...

That card is SO tempting.

I'm a big UT fan and it seems to be the only card that will run the UT 2003 DM-Antalus (big outdoor map I guess) over 60fps at 1280x1024 (my LCD's native res).

So, I'm holding off until UT 2003 comes out and hopefully the prices will come down or someone will make a 3rd party one cheaper.

Any benchmarks around comparding built-by-ATI 9700's vs. 3rd-party 9700's?

The Newegg site does not specify clock, or memory speeds, however Sapphire's site seems to indicate clock speed of 325 and memory at 620 (actually 310 x2 DDR), which would be the same as the retail ATI version. I don't read Russian, though.........
