as far as i can tell not much difference between most of the models and its $145 after mail in rebate with a lifetime warranty. can't beat xfx's warranty.

why would you go for a sapphire (2 years warranty) over an xfx (lifetime)? both good brands... makes no sense

That lifetime is dust in eyes. Most of the people ( gamers) don't keep a video card more than 2 - 3 years because they want to upgrade for better gaming experience.And because i owned Sapphire video cards and they run smooth without any problems.
