Gigabyte or Sapphire HD 5850

[boon_pek]

Hello,

I am having trouble over which card should I get, the Gigabyte HD 5850 or the Sapphire HD 5850? In my place, the Sapphire is US$ 20 more than the Gigabyte. I don't really care about the price, just the performance. Which is the better card?

Thank you very much.

Sorry for being such a newbie, but what's an XFX?

Oh thanks.

But the only choices I have are Gigabyte HD 5850 and Sapphire HD 5850, so which do I choose, with the Gigabyte $20 cheaper?

Do they both cool the same way?

do the coolers look alike?? if so they are the same cards and i would go with the cheaper one

 

[boon_pek]

Ok then. Thanks.

 

[Derbixrace]

well is it worth paying 20$ more just for another brand? at least i would not. i think they have the same bundle and everything.

 

[boon_pek]

So they are exactly the same, just with the stickers?

 

[Derbixrace]

just find out who has better warranty and bundle and then decide if sapphire is worth 20$ extra.
