I'm setting up a new high-end rig for the first time and i was watching a sapphire x1900 xt on newegg for aound $325.00 AR (which is now sold out) and i was wondering if i should just get the HIS or MSI x1900 xt models which are alittle more pricey, or should i hold out for the sapphire to just restock? Is there any major preformance differences between these models at all?
 
They all come with the same clock speed and the same cooler. Though I don't know about the HIS cooler sometimes they have a nice Arctic cooler and sometimes they just have a normal stock cooler that all the others have.
 
Well, I did just get one of the HIS x1900xt open box cards for the same price. The only problem with mine was the fan wasn't working, so I unplugged the power for the fan from the card, and plugged it into an unused fan connecter and VOILA! the fan works!!! I stress tested the computer and card all night, no problems yet. It also had all the cables and software listed on the box. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the HIS returns were due to a faulty fan power connector on the card.
 
Welcome to the forums, really they all perform pretty close to the same the smart thing is wait and get one for the better price, the I gotta have it now choice is buy any one they have and enjoy. You cant really go wrong with an XT in any way shape or form.
