I need help choosing either a GIGABYTE GV-R797OC-3GD or a SAPPHIRE 100351SR.

Both are over clocked cards, and relatively same price, I was wondering which one you would get and why?

However, the GIGABYTE says it has memory clock of 5500MHz. and the SAPPHIRE says it has a memory clock of 1425MHz(5.7Gbps) / 1450MHz(5.8Gbps). Can someone please explain to me the difference? And or if they are both the same? Because all other specs are similar or same.

I think its newegg making it seem wrong. They both run at the same speeds, the sapphire is actually faster. I would go off of the gigabyte speed and then with the sapphire its the (5.7Gbps) Which should equate to 5700MHz which is faster than that of the gigabyte.

Its going to come down to what the newegg page says about the memory clock speeds. if the Gigabyte runs 5500MHZ and the Sapphire only runs 1425MHz(5.7Gbps) then Ill go with the Gigabyte, unless its the same thing, then ill go with the Sapphire, Because the Sapphire product page says it has 5700MHZ memory clock. So I dont even know how to determine this.
