Yes...it is. My local store is selling the Atlantis 9600Pro for $139 dollars US, I asked Grape about it but he said it has slow memory.

I would just go for the one made by ATI, that is what i have and it's working great. The sapphire cards have problems with their cooling sometimes and might be underclocked when you get them.

Ok here's the thing (kinda repeated from last thread).
The Atlantis is Sapphire's generic name for all their cards. From there, there is the Fireblade and the Ultimate Edition.
The regular Atlantis(s) have been known to ship with alot of different memory modules (like as if Sapphire just pops on whatever's lying around for that week). Some of them have shipped with 3.3ns memory (<b>GW</b> that thread you pointed me to in Rage3D forum had one guy who had the Saphire with the 3.3ns memory and his core OCs sucked too). Anywho, the Fireblade is the Atlantis series that has the guaranteed fast memory. The Ultimate edition unfortunately is a little iffy too. It's the Passively cooled atlantis, and I have seen reviewers with 2.86ns memory as well as 3.1ns memory.
Sapphire is a good build if you are running at sotck. But if you wish to experiment with overclocking (which is/was one of the benifits of the R9600Pro) then you want to avoid the basic Atlantis.
That's just been my experience, especially since many people come to me with their R9600 issues/problems/questions.
Hope that helps.
