HD6950. But which one? Sapphire? XFX?

[rapolitas]

Hey guys, as you can see from the title, I need a HD6950. But from which vendor? You have all the options listed here: http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_de_DE=%C5M%C5Z%D5%D1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=hd6950&x=0&y=0

Since i live in luxembourg, I'm ordering from the german amazon.

It all depends on which kind of warranty service you want. XFX has an outstanding Double Lifetime warranty, meaning, if you sell you video card to someone else, that second owner will have a warranty service.

From my experience, Sapphire and XFX are all great. If you plan to keep your card for a long time, just go for the one that is cheaper.

Also, make sure that you purchase a 2GB version, preferably XFX, as it can be unlocked to a fully functional 6970. There are plenty guides on interwebs.

Both are top notch brands. Warranties are important, but depends how often you upgrade. Two years minimum is what I prefer.
