AMD Radeon HD 7870 Brands

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

Hello, I am going to purchase a Radeon 7870 and currently on Newegg the Sapphire 7870 is at $199.99 which to me seems a good deal. It is a limited time offer so I was wondering if it was a reliable brand or if I should go for the other 7870 brands like MSI or ASUS, or XFX, or HIS ? What is the best maker of gpu's in terms of reliability?

Any benckmark info for cards by these brands showing comparison would be helpful :) . Tomshardware did on on the 7970 but I can't find one for the 7870.

benchmark of the same card without OC..i don't think you will get any help....go with your budget..that is what is important..if money is not issue then go with MSI twin frozer....but sapphire is also good...quite and cool...i have mine 7850....very happy with it...

It also mentioned open air coolers on the graphics card and the need for good airflow within the case to provide good cooling. I am using a case with 2x120mm Fans and 1x140mm fan. Is this enough cooling for the card?

it will be enough...if you can do then reverse on of the side case fan so it can draw outer cooler air inside and overwhelm your gpu with cool air..and hot air go outside via exhaust ;)  ..it will make your gpu real cool.....
