ATI Radeon Sapphire 256MB 9600 XT

Can anyone tell me the difference between the ATI RADEON Sapphire 9600 XT video card and the regular ATI RADEON 9600 XT card? the sapphire is cheaper, is that because it doesn't perform as well as the regular ati radeon 9600 xt?

Different manufacturer for the card, practically similar quality. Get the lesser expensive one.

Get the Sapphire Radeon 9600XT - made to be better in games and is "supposed" to cost more.

The 9600xt is better than 9600pro. But if you can pay 200USD you can get the Sapphire 9800 pro from Newegg. Here But if not the 9600XT is the way to go.
