I was curious if there was any real difference between these two cards:

POWERCOLOR 1900XT512OEM Radeon X1900XT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO PCI Express x16 Video Card - OEM

SAPPHIRE 100149 Radeon X1900XT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO PCI Express x16 Video Card - OEM
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814102003

Both these cards are radoen x1900xt's and they both look similar so what in the world is the true difference? Are the both about as good?

Thanks in advance!

I'd rather go with the Sapphire brand. Didn't glc say they make ATI's branded cards?

They are both 512MB Blue. ;)

They are the same card, simply a different brand. Either one will be a great gaming card. Sapphire is a tad more popular but I use Powercolor cards with no problems. Pick one and enjoy.

Same card, different brand. I have a PowerColor, but Sapphire is excellent as well. I'd buy based on price............;)
