KFA2 brings you serious performance up & Newegg isn't perfect.

Why don't these manufacturers just hire someone who speaks English as their native language? They could give me 25 cents for every typo I correct.

KFA2 9600 GT 1GB

I have been saving this Newegg thing for a few days, looking for an opportunity to post it. Newegg is under the impression that Sapphire has made a Radeon 9600 Pro for your PCI-Express slot. No. NO!

There is no reason to make a PCI-E 9600 Pro. Notice that there is no shot of the 9600 Pro box on that Newegg page. Also notice that the card in Newegg's pic looks exactly like a Sapphire X1300 PCI-E.

The moral of this story is as follows: Even totally kick ass sites like Newegg can make humorous mistakes from time to time.

If you zoom in on the back of the card, you can see it says X1300. How did you know it was an X1300? Guess and check?

Those zoom pics were not there before, but they do confirm my match. I just looked through Sapphire's pics for their low end low profile cards until I found an exact match.
