That place says the gpu is at 300mhz where as the ATI model is at 325mhz so I'd say no thats not the best 9700.

the "best" ones are from ATI....

that is... if you want to pay a little more...to have the "best" ones..

I think its at 300mhz because its an oem model as its not just the ATI versions that are clocked faster see anandtechs review of the gigabyte 9700 that also has a 325mhz clock.

the problem about your link (zerthr) is just that it only ships into the us and canada.... and i'm from europe... would be cool if someone could help me find a place where i can buy the top radeon 9700 pro (i mean the best one) wich ships it to austria...

Ebay is good if he wants to spend $1000 on a card.

AFAIK only ATI will manufacturer and sell the Radeon 9700 Pro cards while OEMs will sell the Radeon 9700 (slightly slower).

So far all the OEM 9700 Pro's have come clocked the same speed as the retail cards. Looks like ATi learned from the 8500 OEM confusion/debacle. Of course some company may still yet try to sell an OEM card clocked lower, but so far the Saphire 9700 OEMs (the first OEM card out) are clocked the same speed.
