Sapphire and ATI

[chs`amadeus]

so, here is the problem, i am good friends with a dealer and he can get me almost anything i want at cost, i am looking for a new vid card, but the problem is all he can get in the way of x800pro's and x800xt's are the sapphire ones, im wondering what differences are, not so much technical differances, but more like battle reports from people that have used alot of both sapphire cards with ati chips and stock ati cards....because id sure love to pay cost vs 750$ CAN....

any opinions, flames, comments will be much appriciated, thx

sapphire is just as good, if not better

Sapphire has produced x800's?
I haven't seen them anywhere, all I've seen is the Visiontek and ATI versions.

Sapphire is great. On my third card from Sapphire.

There is no difference besides the graphic on the heatsink and maybe the software bundle.
