I can't decide which card to get:
Ati 4870:
XFX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150394&cm_re=ati_4870-_-14-150-394-_-Product
or
SAPPHIRE
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102849&cm_re=ati_4870-_-14-102-849-_-Product
-Sapphire has more experience with ATI cards
-XFX has double lifetime warranty
-Sapphire supposedly has a cooler/quieter design, but exhausts half the heat into the case and the other half out of it
-XFX has the reference cooler: exhausts air out of the case but runs hotter/louder
-I tend to believe XFX's fan may get clogged with dust more easily...
-Both cards are priced $144.99
Anyone has some experience with these cards? Any comments? Suggestions on what to choose?
Please guide me on what to choose.
