[Solved] Radeon 5850

I have decided on which card to get (Radeon HD5850) but what I want to know is what each distributor of these cards has to offer. I am looking between XFX, ASUS, Diamond, Gigabyte, Powercolor. What does each have to offer? They are all set at the same price.

EDIT: They all look the same aside the graphics on the card, and they all come with a voucher for Dirt2 as of right now.

They're all the same so far. Just different names on the boxes.

I picked up a Sapphire 5850, it was the most in-expensive. They all look exactly the same right now and have exactly the same specs, so I didnt see a point paying more for a card than I had to. In general lifetime warranties dont factor in for me, I usually upgrade my card every 1-2 years as is. So a 1 year warranty is fine with me. I have had the card for over a week now and am enjoying it ( I generally always got nvidia up until this card, cant beat the performance for the price on nvidias side until they crank down the 285gtx price.)

Generally speaking when a video card is first introduced the cards adhere to ATI's technical specifications. After a while the card manufacturers might introduce cards with a few differences such as increased memory or the ability to tweak the cards. Sometimes there may be a special edition that comes with a game for free.

For example, when the ATI Radeon HD 4770 was introduced earlier this year all the manufacturers offered cards which were identical. Later, XFX introduced a 4770 with a different fan shroud that expelled hot air out rear panel of the pc. I've had good luck with XFX so I bought it just to see how well the fan shroud expels hot air out the back. So far it has worked very well.
