Hello, Im struggling here trying to choose the right card for my current setup. My objective is to achieve a full-3-monitor-gameplay . I got suggested this card by one of the users here at the forums:

Yes another user suggested me this one:

Which one do you think is the best?

Also here is another topic of mine so you can see why I got suggested the Sapphire and the MSI:

Hello there, I remember your very long thread yesterday :) Actually I vote MSI, I had a personal bad experience with Sapphire before. MSI is a very good manufacturer but under best conditions, both are great and you can't go wrong with either.

+1 to Madi - bad Sapphire experiences here too. I've owned three, and all three died on me! There won't be a fourth :) MSI on the other hand, I bought an MSI motherboard and GeForce4 MX460 almost 10 years ago and they're still running. I'm pretty impressed by that!

Actually many. Crashed tons of times, terrible screen tearing and squares all over my screen and rubbish customer support are a few problems to tell. HOWEVER, that doesn't, by any ways, mean that Sapphire is bad, they are good but I was so unlucky with them and I prefer MSI overall.

Don't worry about that - all the Radeon manufacturers will offer a GHz Edition. It doesn't really mean much anyway - it's effectively a factory overclock. You'll get that with GeForces too. As for why they died, I don't know. First one the GPU actually didn't die, just the fan. But it was useless because it kept overheating. Second just stopped outputting a signal to the monitor. Third started getting really blurry in games for a couple of months, and then died completely. None of them were overclocked - all left at stock.

EDIT: I mean don't worry about GHz Edition... I should have used the 'reply to' link :)
