Is there any difference between Connect3D's R9500P and ATI's?

It looks like they are completely the same cards (the cards, and not the whole bundle). They are based on the same chip and will perform circa the same performence level, but are they totally the same? Does they have a difference? Maybe the active cooling system is not identical, or maybe the memory chips are developed by different companies.

From how it seems to be, they are the completely the same. The Built By ATi tag, the color and the ATi sticker made me think so.
Am I right?

I'm pretty sure they will be the same, but check the clock speed just in case, I think 275/270 is the right clock for that card.

probably the only differance would be the sticker on the fan or at the very most a differant HS/Fan. if i were to buy an ATI card i would go for the Built By ATI cards. That way you know your warrenty will be worth something in 3 years. I know i had a scare when Visiontek went under.
