Its only $250 now. Has a cupon for Half Life 2 with it. I'm going to be getting a 9800 pro soon now that they're around $200. SHould I get this card since it has HL2 and a built in coolor. Or is this card not very good compared to other ATI 9800 pros?

edit: hmm looks like it says NO HL2 cupon now? Thought it said it did, my bad.

The card is a Very good card, but whether it's worth $50 more than some other R9800Pros out there depends on what you're looking for. It's a little quieter than most other boards, and it does tend to overclock a little better than most other standard R9800Pros.

They are good cards, but the price difference is really a price for features issue you have to answer.
