CONCLUSION - "The Powercolor Radeon 9800 Pro usually fails to beat the Inno3D GeForce 5900 XT when using default settings. However when you turn on features like anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering the Powercolor Radeon 9800 Pro managed to distance itself from the Inno3D GeForce 5900 XT some of the time. The biggest performance advantage the Powercolor Radeon 9800 Pro has over the Inno3D GeForce 5900 XT is it's efficent anisotropic filtering, anti-aliasing and dx9 performance. The problem with the Powercolor Radeon 9800 Pro is it's price, it will set you back $197 (£141) compared to $175 (£128) for the Inno3D GeForce 5900 XT. When you consider the fact that the Inno3D GeForce 5900 XT is usually faster makes the Powercolor Radeon 9800 Pro too expensive."
