Apart from the large price difference, why should I choose one over the other? At first glance, the specs look the same...
I'm only in 'browsing' mode at the moment and won't be committing to a card just yet. I know I can get cheaper cards elsewhere but that sapphire one looks good for the price.
Opinions?

Its about the easiest piece of overclocking you can do. What graphics card are you running at the moment? If it is already quite close to the 9800 pro specs then i would probably wait until PCX.

Sapphire are a good brand. That one it the one I have. Fantastic card, really really good.
In saying that, Turbonutter swears by Connect3D and I have heard good things about them. I'd google them and have a look at the reviews, the cards are the same spec after all.
Bearing in mind that the XT range is basically an overclocked Pro card, and that there is actually no need for 256 Mb of memory yet, I think in hindsight the smart thing to do would have been to buy a £160 128 Mb 9800 Pro, which if I wanted I could always overclock.
