Which ATI card manufacturer would you pick over the others and why? I'm just trying to decide which to go with. Right now i'm leaning towards HIS because it comes with a cool looking screw driver.....

So far i sticked with Sapphire. Already have quite a few (2 x 9600 , 1 X800 and now a 4850) and they haven't brought me any problem. For example, i still own one of those 9600 that is still working as we speak. My brother should be playing wow.

But that is a personal opinion.

Sapphire or HIS in general but Sapphire Toxic if you need a 4870 with an aftermarket cooler.

I hear good things about the HIS and Saphire brands and I would defiantly avoid Diamond.
The newcomer VisionTek has a lifetime warranty on their cards which is something worth considering...

VisionTek, MSI, ASUS, and Gigabyte would really be the only ones I would recommend because each offers at least a 3 year warranty.

I sold my friend on an MSI 4850 with an aftermarket cooler (at idle it's like 40c). Here it is on newegg, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] msi%204850

At the time it came with a $30 MIR but it does come with a free game right now.
