It's time to upgrade my trusty 5850 to something with more umph at 2560x1600.
Having trouble deciding on which for the following 3 cards to purchase.
GIGABYTE GV-R795WF3-3GD - $309 AR
SAPPHIRE 100352OCSR 950mhz edition - $329
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100352VXSR - $329
I've never owned a Gigbyte or Sapphire product before, though I have heard good things about the Gigabyte card and generally positive things about past Sapphire Vapor-X cards. There is also a nice thread about the Sapphire 950mhz edition here on the amd flavor forum. Tough call for sure.
I guess it comes down to the fact that the Gigabyte has 1 yr extra warranty but both Sapphire cards are higher factory clocked. Do either companies cover overclocking in their warranty (negating the clock speed factor), and which has a better service reputation?
TL;DR - Pick a card for me
