The DDR5 card will be faster. Both cards are PCIe version 2.1 there have been no video issues in the past with those in boards with older 1.x slots. Depending on your motherboards slot version you might be better of with this version 2.0 card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102870

The DDR5 will definitely be notably faster. I would recommend the 2.0 card rolli linked as well.

Do you need the VGA port on the Sapphire you linked? No? Go with rolli59's.

i'll buy the sapphire that you are recomending, i guess the 512 vram is enough for my resolution. right?
