ATI vs Power Color vs Sapphire

[DeltronZero]

Well, what's the difference, besides who builds the card? Looking at a 9500 pro, 9700 pro or 9800 pro.

I've ALWAYS had a problem with Powercolor. From their first fudging of the 9700PRO (really a NON-pro in Sheeps clothing) which later became the 'Gold', to this recent REPEAT with the 9800pros.
Check out <A HREF="http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NDgzLDI=" target="_new">THIS</A> article at [H] which described this happening again in the overclocking section! And this time it's a reviewer catching it, and not a consumer. (The guys who found out about the 9700s found out when they went to use Powerstip, just like [H])
Sapphire has 'some' memory module issues but seem to have turned that around, and make the reference 'Built by ATI' cards.

Just stay away from Powercolor IMHO!
