I'd get the cheapest ASUS one....the Powercolor one is a good choice too

 

[David41]

I'd get the direct cu.

 

[lunatic9009]

What are the differences between them?

 

[BigRazer93]

Asus are the only company that offer 3 years warrenty whereas the other companys offer 2 years. The Asus can oc past the boundry 775/1150 and can go up to 1000/1300 Simple winner here tbh, Asus is the better choice.

 

[Mr Krugga]

Powercolor if you don't overclock.
Asus+Zalman VF3000-A if you do.

The cheapest one if you're short on cash

 

[lunatic9009]

How about the two asus?
What are the difference between them?
DirectCU meaning?

 

[mattgal]

asus directCU as that's the only one in stock. unless you would like to spend 3weeks and still haven't received the item

wow wow wow! I bought the XFX 5850 because of the double lifetime warranty everyone was banging on about. This makes me a sad panda!

Argh i can't find Asus 5850 anywhere!

 

[jorzeh]

Go for the ASUS if you intend to overclock. Most other cards are bios and voltage locked meaning they will not reach anywhere near the magical 1000core barrier.

If overclocking is not your thing and you prefer silence then the Sapphire Toxics area reasonable buy.
