    Sapphire vs Powercolor

    Both cards are 225mm in length (more or less 9 inches). Your recommendations: should I choose Sapphire over Powercolor? Could Sapphire be a better brand? Sapphire's cooling solution seems better. And is it true that Sapphire's asking price for its new card is only US$230? Please confirm.

    Re: Sapphire vs Powercolor

    How much are the gigabyte and msi twin frozr3 7870's in your country? They both have a 3 year warranty rather than sapphires 2 year

    They are a top quality brand but msi and gigabyte offer better cooling and warranties imo

    Why not pick a 7850 and overclock it which is easy to the 7870 performance levels?

      The following list is for Newegg (USA) 7850 (regular) and 7870 GHz cards:
      Newegg Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition, Radeon HD 7850 Video Cards
      Newegg typically has some of the lowest prices.
      Prices frequently change.

      **edit**
      Newegg is also in Canada and China.
