first compare the quality of the card/brand
then the warranty aspect of the card/brand

then lastly explain which one you would pick and why (include cost as a reason)

thanks alot !

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150438&cm_re=hd_4890-_-14-150-438-_-Product is better. xfx, mod and oc proof double lifetime warranty(tradeable warranty if registered)

Don't know a whole lot abot MSi or HIS graphics cards, but Sapphire has a pretty decent reputation and I've been generally happy with whatever I've gotten from them.

On the other hand, cards by XFX come with a lifetime warranty, and I think VisionTek does too. So if I were you, I'd get one of those instead.

his is a good ati based vendor just like sapphire.

i would choose HIS with IceQ 4...
It's pretty "cool" inside...

 

[laweinhander]

no one likes the msi's cooler ?

I had 3 ATI card, X1550, X1650 Pro and HD 4850, all of them HIS. Never had a headache and they run nice...

Well, it's just personal choice, not everyone have same choice...
Each brands have their advantages and disadvantages...

I'd get the cheapest one of the three to be honest. They all have non OEM coolers, and honestly, are you really going to own the card past it's warranty? And if it is past the warranty and it breaks, wouldn't you just replace it with a new card anyways? The actual board is the same, the coolers are just different. Oh yeah and the box they came in.
