Doobey dooo sends word that VR-Zone has just posted their review of Sapphiretech's Radeon 9700 Pro Ultimate Edition graphics card! Here's a snip.
With the "Ultimate Edition" series of graphics cards, Sapphire is looking to capitalize on the hardcore enthusiast market they missed out on with their first release of the 9700 Pro, as that release was essentially a clone of the ATI version, without ramsinks and using the standard red PCB we've all come too accustomed to. This time around however, Sapphire spiced things up by including a gaming bundle, ramsinks, and a very unique heatsink that actually has no moving parts, which will be looked into more thoroughly later on in the review.
