Default Buying a 5770 but what brand?
I was going to go with sapphire but there sold out on newegg. The brand “HIS” are they any good? I want to make sure the video card I receive has good warranty and easy RMA process. Any suggestions?

XFX and Sapphire are great, but I've heard great things about HIS and Asus cards. My friend has a couple Asus and HIS ones, and he loves them to death.


Personally, I'm picking up a Sapphire 5770. It'll be damn smexy, and I've heard it cools nice.

I'd stick with Sapphire. Not everything has to be bought from Newegg :

Anything but XFX. I'm partial to Sapphire myself, but pretty much all of them are the same because they are reference.

In most benchmarks the HD 4870 performs ~10% better and it's 15-20% cheaper.

@hermitmaster - Averages don't tell the whole story. The HD5770 has a better AA and AF, much lower power consumption and is in it's infancy with drivers.
