Best manufacturer/packager for HD7750

[clay1987]

I am about to purchase an HD7750 which appears to be priced based at $109 by the manufacturer/packagers. But I do not have a good understanding of the difference in features, fit, power requirements, cooling, etc.

I leaned toward Sapphire or Gigabyte, and stayed away from XFX. But don't know really. This is a card I have picked out:

There is no best manufacturer for a particular card. A particular model will basically have the same features, fit & power requirements. The only differentiator maybe the cooling system as some manufacturer fit 2 fans instead of one for cooler & quieter operations so they claim.

Therefore you basically can not go wrong in selecting a manufacturer. There is nothing wrong with your choice but I myself prefer this just for the looks (because it matches my black & red case):

But in any case, may we know how you come up with the selection of 7750? Did you choose this because of your power supply limitation, budget or monitor resolution?

For example, if your power supply do not have PCIe power connector or have capacity of <350W, the 7750 is the safest bet. But if you have a good power supply & you have 1920x1080 monitor, you might as well get at least a 6850 or preferably a 6870 if budget allows. These are better cards that can provide you better gaming experience.

XFX, ASUS, MSI, stay away from Sapphire for the 7850.

I did notice that XFX gets an "F" by the Better Business Bureau.
