Re: Are Sapphire All that????

If you ever bought a "Made by ATI" card, it was really made by Sapphire.

Yes. they are "all that".

And that's not just MY opinion either. I refer you to this thread:

Sapphire are, on the whole very good, they have always produced excellent products in the past. Some of their coolers are pretty raucous though, and they have had a few glitchy BIOSes recently as well. Right now I'd actually pick XFX as the top dog.

Re: Are Sapphire All that????

Me Too - Ive had 3 cards from Sapphire now - dating from the old 9800Pro days - and each one of them has died on me after just a few months - Pants - First time shame on them, second time shame on me, third time - what a joke...!!!

Its XFX all the way now for me...!!!
