i would recomend the second toms found it to be a great value in the roundup

ya ive heard alot of people say the windforce x3 is really good. just thought the 1st sapphire would be the one to get since its selling most on newegg.com.

my friend has the 2nd one as well and said i should get it over the other 2 sapphires

legokill101 · Sep 15, 2013

well the gigabyte has a more powerfull and quieter cooler so that why i recomand that however be aware it is quite long

Your best choice is the first card. The Gigabyte card seems to have a high failure rate and the 3rd option has a SLIGHTLY slower core clock. Just make sure you have enough space in your case.

like i want the 1st card but ive heard so many people say the windforce over the double x sapphire.

any reason why you think the sapphire double x over the windforce x3? or is it just the failure rate? and by that do u mean DOA? or that it just stops working after a while?

only get to upgrade every so often, so i just want to make sure i get the right one.

For AMD/ATI cards Sapphire is the best only one to get. I have never had a problem with any Sapphire card I have ever had. Get the first one with out a doubt.

bryonhowley thanks for bring the size up, made me think about what ive heard about it being so big that the card sags. anyone know if this is true?

That can happen depending on how your computer sits, but it can easily be fixed with a zip tie.
