WHICH ONE IS A BETTER CARD????????

From what I can tell the Hercules overclocks a little more and has the full version of morrowind adn looks cooler. I want that one but the price is so much more. Also if you can wait till March 6th you can get the Gigabyte from newegg for $326. Also you might want to look for the Sapphire 9700pro, it is supposed to have the best 2d.

I have the sapphire 9700pro and it rocks. I read alot of reviews when I bought my card a month ago!

i just found out that the place that sold me the powercolor 9700pro

Just curious are you retruning this card or just buying another one for another PC?

From the reviews I read the Powercolor 9700pro and Sapphire 9700pro pretty much ran the same benchmarks. I think the Powercolor 9700pro might not be a name brand as some other cards but got great benchmarks. I choose the Sapphire 9700pro because of the two,
Sapphire 9700pro, Powercolor 9700pro the Sapphire 9700pro was cheaper of the two or maybe the only one in stock but both preformed great! GIGABYTE isnt my favorite name brand but isnt shabby and would hessite to buy one for the right price.

If your really worried about which is the best just do a search through google and you will find many reviews on all 3 cards!! This is will help you determine seeing the reviews/benchmarks for yourself.

Good Luck!
