I got my Sapphire X1900 XTX on a 'this week only' deal at Overclockers UK for £380!!
Cant beat that considering its around £430 in most online stores.
The Sapphire X1900 XT is like £370+ so I essentially got a cherry picked better version for only a tenner more!! w00t!

Its just a company that brands the card under their own name.
The carsd are actually exactly the same, well almost.

I personally have a sneaky suspicion that sapphire keeps all the best cherry picked cards for their own range, as Sapphire cards, time after time tend to perform better, and OC higher then other branded models. it makes sense as Sapphire actually make the cards for ATI themselves, so perhaps they keep the best batches?

When you said "almost the same" what is the difference?
