Choosing a vendor for HD 4850

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

So I want a 4850, what brand should I get?

I'm thinking about getting this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127370

or

This doesn't look to bad either:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102770

I prefer the sapphire one due to price, but is that fan good enough? I can't find any reviews

Also how do I fan fix each 4850 if I cross them?

Thanks in advance

i myself will buy the MSI version as the heatsink looks like it will keep the temps in check

visiontek on the otherhand offers lifetime warranty and a free game on top of it

just some little things to consider

i bought the asus 4850 from newegg . it comes with a smart doctor program . it monitors your card , you can also adjust your fan speed easly . toms hardwhere did a review on that card as well . the alone in the dark game that came with it sucked tho .

I would say, go with the brand of motherboard you got. It will give you extra options in BIOS

does this apply to the evga 750i+2x evga 8800GT versus XFX 8800GT's?

<V3NOM> yes it will give you extra options in BIOS if your GPU and motherboard are from XFX.

I got ASUS GPU and motherboard and it gives me options in BIOS to tweak the card
