question about brand

Um, Sapphire is one of the better ATI OEMs, generally regarded almost as well as the "ATI" brand cards. 😕

Powercolor definitely aims for a lower pricepoint (often worse bundles, stock cooling, short warranty), but the cards themselves are generally fine.
 
But I heard that sapphire cards break every 6 months. And does powercolor cards brake like every month?

WTF?

No, Sapphire cards do not break every 6 months (nor do Powercolor cards break "like every month"). I've personally had several Sapphire boards that have lasted a year or more and show no signs of stopping anytime soon.

You think these companies would stay in business if their products were that bad?

If you can't talk properly then don't talk. you can worship the companies all you want but you don't have to throw your zeal at others.
 
the only company that i can think of that breaks every month would be powmax or deer...i've got a friend using a powercolor x800xl without issues.

Ok, then it should be reliable but what about the performance? do certain manufacturer's card perform slightly better than others?

I can speak just fine, thanks.

You're the one who "heard" that Sapphire video cards break every six months and "knows' that Sapphire is 'bad'. Clearly, what you 'heard' is more authoritative than my personal experience and the opinion of many other people on this board. :disgust:

I don't "worship" any company; I was trying to answer your question. If you don't want to be corrected when you make incorrect statements, don't post.

So this board is a gathering of lowclass profaners? you people are a disease in the society. The world will be a lot better with out your sass.
 
i don't see anything the least bit threatening about matthias's post, you need to lighten up a bit dsj. and sapphire and powercoler are not bad at all. you heard wrong, as well as reacted wrong.
 
BBA(Built By ATI, ATi' own brand) and Sapphire are about par which means really good.
Powercolor is slightly worse, but no problems really.

Yeah my Sapphire 9600 Atlantis lasted a long time, and is still running CS:S with 50ish frames on high. 🙂 Props to Sapphire.
