Yeah rumor has it that sapphire manufactures ATI cards, or at least they did for a time. Just do what apoppin said.

ATI Cards: 1 year warrenty
Sapphire cards: 2 year warrenty (IIRC)

I've been trying to decide on which 1900 gpu card to get. I think I'm gonna go Asus. Solid manufacturer, software bundle seems better than average, and 3 year warranty.

I've always wondered this. If you get an ATI card with a one year warranty, you don't have to send a receipt in when you register, right? Why not just wait like six months or so to register? Wouldn't that effectively get you an extended warranty for free? Before you guys go bashing me, it's really only fair. ATI should give a longer warranty, but they don't.

The warranty starts at time of purchase. Are you going to forge an invoice/receipt too?

Sapphire bulids the Built By ATI cards.
My x850xt pe is from them had it OCed for year now no problems.

The answer is the cheaper is the better (buy), in case you have a tough time deciding. Sapphire is a reputable g/c mfg for ATI and it makes quality cards.

You don't send the receipt in when you send the registration card.

How about this X1900XT. It's got a lifetime warranty.

thats a pretty good deal for a radeon with a lifetime,but are you gonna have this card for more than 2 years anyway?

ive always liked H.I.S. Hightech radeons personally,but im sure any of them would suit

Very true, and if you oc than the warranty doesn't matter anyway. Get whatever is cheapest if you oc.
