Powercolor vs Sapphire 9700 Pro

[BosHaus313]

I ordered a Sapphire 9700 Pro from estoretogo.com and I got a Powercolor 9700 Pro instead. Is there a differance in performance between the two? I dunno if I should return this thing and get a sapphire or I should let it go and stick with the powercolor.

While both are the same card based on the same chipset design, Powercolor is known to use slower 3.3ns RAM compared to the 2.8ns RAM you'll be mor elikely to find on the Sapphire cards which results in a larger overclocking headroom and t hey generally have a higher resale value as well compared to Powercolor.
