OEM $212

Retail $224

Granted these aren't BBA, but Sapphire is ATI's major OEM, so you can feel safe saving a few bucks.

You save $15 and lose a year's warranty, and buy it from an OEM instead of the original manufacturer. I'd stick with the ATI personally for $15 more...

Go easy on the guy. He hasn't been around that long. He thought he found a good deal and wanted to find out for sure.

Doesn't the Sapphire (retail) come with a one year warranty vs ATI's 3 year?

Doesn't matter if you're gonna knock off the stock fan and install an Arctic cooler.
