No difference. Nvidia is more expensive just becuase its name. Go with the Sapphire. There is no difference but its cheaper.

When i order mine, it' gonna be the sapphire, good make and cheaper, plus they have good reviews, but see which one has the higher warrenty though if you want extra warrenty that is.

I'd personally take the sapphire. Sapphire is known for there silent and reliable cards(I can testify to it). This gigabyte one seems to have some fan issues and vibration issues.

Btw make sure you don't install the drivers off the disk. They are virtually useless. Instead install the latest on the amd site.

Cheers!

Where in the crap this includes Nvidia?

You can clock them on stock voltage to about 1050mhz core and 1450mhz mem. You can go a little higher on stock depending on your card. If you raise the voltage you can go much higher though. But this will raise heat and shorten your cards life.

I have 5 rigs running all with sapphire cards in them. I just upgraded my wife's PC with that same GPU and have not had problems with any of them. That card plays games like wow and swtor on high with no problems and high fps
