Visiontek vs Sapphire TOXIC (5850HD)

[Unifried]

Which one is better? Im getting it from Tigerdirect, the sapphire costs 50$ more. Is there much difference between them?

 

[Emperus]

The TOXIC editions from SAPPHIRE feature their propriety vapor-x cooling which is an excellent GPU cooling solution.. For a high end card purchase such as the HD 5850, i would say its definitely worth the extra 50$ ....

Heres a link to Sapphire Toxic 5850HD from tigerdirect:

It doesnt say anything about Vapour-X Cooling.

Toxic is the Vapor-X with overclocking basically. I would get the toxic if you don't plan on heavy overclocking..since you can't adjust the voltage on them.

What if im not planning to OC at all, will Sapphire still be a better option?

 

[Bighairyman]

I would go with the toxic or vapor-x.. the toxic is already overclocked by Sapphire.

It is overclocked, normal core clock is 725, that one is 765mhz. Same with memory clock, normal is 1000, that one is 1125.
