[Buying Tonight] HD 6950 2GB what brand?

[jedinegotiator]

I am almost positive this is the card I want I just dont know what brand is the best.

I am looking at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161372

And this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102945

Are those good ones? You can also try to sway my decision. I am planning to get one of these and then in a couple months get another for X-Fire.
Let me know your thoughts.

SAPPHIRE has always served me well. Plus it has a better heatsink with 2 fans and dirt 3 is included with both packages. Overall the SAPPHIRE is slightly more expensive due to shipping but is my sure buy if I was picking this card

This question gets asked at least once a day. Here is a link to the last one: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/322586-33-what-6950

I like the Twin Frozr II and III due to the special bios they offer. If you don't want to flash a special bios onto the card, then the Sapphire looks good too.

HIS is better because it's already slightly overclocked. They both have 2 years warranty. This XFX has lifetime warranty and is only $245 after MIR with free shipping.

It really doesn't matter if it's slightly overclocked, as overdrive has the same overclock limit and they all pretty much go well beyond the limit.

sapphire dirt 3 edition has best cooling, go with that one
