4850 XFX or Gigabyte

[TimeWarrior]

Hi Guys,

I've only owned ASUS and Gigabyte cards and am choosing between a Gigabyte 4850 with the reference cooler (GV-R485-512H-B) and an XFX 4850 with their standard single slot cooler. I have heard good things about XFX, and was wondering if anyone knew if these cards are any different in terms of OC headroom, etc.

Cheers,

Time

They'll call clock similar depends on the card some cards tend to overclock better then others. To guarantee a highly overclocked card buy the non reference design which are overclocked. In my opinion go with xfx because of there great customer service and rma process. Oh ya when you sell them they have higher value because of there warranty extends to the next user.
