Is one of these cards better than the other or are they equal?

1st one comes with a game and a rebate/second one has lifetime warranty unless XFX changed things........ for me, the first card.

Basically the same card.

Sapphire comes with Dirt 3 and is $145 after rebate, but only a 2 year warranty. + $7.56 shipping.

XFX is $160 and comes with a lifetime warranty as long as you register your card within 30 days. + free shipping

I would opt for XFX.

how often do cards go bad ? I had 2 in my life. 1 I killed because of a bad over clock and the second came to me new/rma. I have a closet full of good cards that are too old and can't keep up with the rigors of modern gaming.

If they are well built? 5+ years

Than again, "well built" can rarely be applied to stuff made today.

I was originally building my system on newegg but they have a warehouse in my state so I would have to pay $80 tax plus $18 shipping so I built the same system on tigerdirect and get free shipping plus no tax. Saves me $100
