Best 4870 x2 Brand?

[Magihyren]

I deciding to get an 4870 x2, and im not sure which brand to go with, ie Visiontek, Diamond, Asus. Please give me a recommendation and some explanation of why the particular brand is better or the best. Thanks.

i would go for the cheapest but if u want good warranty visiontek offers life time warranty.

If he's getting a 4870X2 i'd say he'll switch cards when the 5870X2 comes out, lol.

Lifetime warranty is sexy, but maybe a 3-5 year is enough (if he doesn't sell his 4870X2 later on, lol).

Anyway, you can go the "more goodies" way or the "more warranty" way. IMO, either is a good path to take.

Esop!

don't assume he'll get a 5870x2, i got a 2900xt CF last year, but i could only afford a measly 4850 this year... on sale.

if you think you'll upgrade in a years time, you might want to consider the cheap ones, a 2 year warranty should be more than enough

BUT if you dont think you'll upgrade in the foreseeable future, lifetime warranty it is

im all for the cheap one's

yeah get the cheap one, as far as I know they are all reference design anyway (except for an OC version)
