How are Sapphire drivers? Never owned an ATI before, but assume that xfx, or asus is more well known than Sapphire.....or all these cards using generic ATI drivers?

What I'm talking about is that w/ Nvidia, you can use either "Nvidia's" graphics driver OR the
"manufacturers" driver. I don't know if the ATI "world" is the same.

Are there "Sapphire" drivers AND "ATI" drivers?

I just have this bad feeling that the XFX version wouldn't be out for a while yet. That the only ones we will see tomorrow or later tonight will be the sapphire or the HIS or Asus

No. One unified driver, just like Nvidia. Some manufacturers have special features that others don't, but the drivers are the same.

I have only ever heard good things about Sapphire, most notably their Toxic and Vapor-X cards. If I recall correctly, ATI has named them their top partner.
