XFX 6870 or Shapphire 6870

DDR5 is Double Data Rate.The G simply means it's graphics memory.Graphics Double Data Rate.5 means what version it is.Usually the higher the number the faster the memory is.

I personally own that 6870 and while it is a good card the cooler on it sucks.I would go for the Sapphire 6870 because of the cooling.The only reason I see for choosing the XFX 6870 would be for Shogun.

so ddr5 and gddr 5 is the same?

I wouldn't buy the XFX. I just bought and registered it because I wanted Dirt 3 and they just extended their promotion for the game yesterday (until the end of August). I was very disappointed to find out that they were out of codes, even though they just extended the promotion for another month. I'm quite pissed.

Yea their practically the same thing.

XFX - build quality and warranty.
