So i was looking around Newegg for a new gpu.. and i decided to get a HD4850 as it was recommended... as i was looking i seen this card

and also this card

now whats the difference? i mean if there's not a difference of quality and performance then i minus well get the cheaper one right?

the sapphire is better because the stock coolers are terrible

they all perform the same, they are using the same chip.
The only difference is the HSF, and the manufacturer. I think some cools better than others.
The 4850 already is a pretty cool chip, from what i have heard.

nice! now this will be running a 19" monitor at 1440x900 resolution.... will that card will work fine with it? im pretty sure it will not be a problem but just want to make sure...

Rep if i helped KTHXBAI!!!

You're doing it again. You'll be getting the opposite if you start asking for it.

yeah, i think its best not to ask for rep.
I dont think you would get any points anyways since OP is still fairly new.

Yeah, I think rep doesn't count until like 100 posts.
