I have their HD4350 and its a good card.

I actually sent it in for an RMA as the fan died.
Got it back within a week.

The fan dieing was my fault FYI.

Wait, what? Are you saying ATI XFX cards are usless? Not at all, I would say they are one the of the best brands for ATI right now.

Saphire is the best right now, as they're actually priced well and have good quality everything.

XFX is better in just about every way, but you have to pay more for it.

He says that XFX are better in almost every way, but you have to pay more which in his opinion makes Sapphire better.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

the xfx will resell at a higher price because of the dual lifetime warranty. I've got a friend who i buy a lot of used stuff off of. I always push him to get the xfx stuff so I can enjoy a nice warranty too.

...your statement doesn't really make sense. If Sapphire is the best, how can XFX be better in just about every way? The only way XFX has proven to be better, IMO, is their RMA service.

Anyway, the XFX Ati cards are decent. There's one guy here that posted a review on his XFX 4870 512MB or 1GB card. Do a search for it. Also, Sapphire does make the best ATI cards but their warranty service sucks balls because it's not actually handled by sapphire. Personally, I'd go with Visiontek. They have lifetime warranty and their cards overclock very well. I've got 2 x 4850's and 4 x 4870's all by Visiontek. My only problem is that they didn't make a 4870 1GB card. But they do make the All-In-Wonder HD card

Back to XFX

They do offer their lifetime warranty on the ATI cards. They have a black PCB (which just rocks IMO). So I say give it a try if the price is right for you.

Also, Visiontek's warranty is based soley on having a receipt. You don't have to register the cards on their website (unless they've changed this). All you need is the original sales receipt so you can sell it to anyone you wish so long as you keep a copy of your receipt.

Its GDDR5 which = x4 and the base clock is 900mhz, so 900 x 4 = 3600
