After MIR XFX is 199 and Sapphire is 179 CAD.

The website does not reflect prices exactly but trust me I know I can get them for this price 100%.

We'll is there anything I am overlooking or is the only difference the 1gb vs 2gb and Lifetime Warranty VS 2 years.

I will be running only one Monitor @ 1920x1080.

Tell me what you think.

Thanks for all feedback <3.

The performance difference, if any, is negligible. As long as you have a suitable power supply (PSU) I would recommend the cheaper of the 2. A 2 year warranty is fine because you'll likely upgrade by then anyway. Good luck!
