are you planning on watching HD-video content on your tv from your computer? If so you might want to look at a 8600GTS or GT as it performs full decode of H.264 video. otherwise get a 1950gt. I've had 2 sapphire cards and no problems, but if the powercolor is a better deal, go for it.

Get the powercolor then. By the pictures, it looks like powercolor has more solid capacitors vs sapphire. I own a powercolor x800xl, so I might be biased

Looks like i wont get either. My 8800GTS that i sold bit the dust. Artifacting like crazy and a pink screen came up. Gonna have to RMA it to evga.
