Overclockers New Zealand has put up a review on the PowerColor R9800 Platinum Edition. What does the term "Platinum Edition" usually imply? I think we should all agree that it usually refers to a superior class of product. However, we were quite baffled when we got PowerColor's R9800 Platinum Edition, as it sports 128-bit memory path which is half of the normal R9800s. In addition, the clock speed does not comply with any ATI official specification.
 PowerColor R9800 Platinum Edition 128MB VGA Review
PowerColor R9800PE is around 15~40% slower than a standard R9800Pro 128MB, due to the narrower 128 bit memory path and a slower clock speed. When both cards are clocked at the same speed, the differences reduce to 11~36%. Judging from its current price, around 18% cheaper than a full R9800Pro 128MB, users will get a better performance/price ratio from a full R9800Pro.
