I know they're both quality brands, but I'm in a position to decide, and need a bit of advice. They will be water cooled, if that matters. Gigabyte appears to have better warranty at three years to sapphires two, but I'm not sure if either are transferable.

Also, I read that both are friendly for rma repairs even if you've removed the stock cooler in favor of water block, but the terms on sapphires page do prohibit this (at least officially). Gigabyte didn't say anything specific.

I've read that sapphire can be undervolted. Don't know if this applies to gigabyte or not...

Thanks
