Ocuk or sapphire 6870

Why are they different prices, I see the ocuk version is on offer at the minute and is £25 cheaper but is their any difference in performance between the two cards?

Cooler and therefore possibly noise.
Both cards are clocked the same aint they?

The sapphire card should run cooler, and possibly quieter. Check out reviews comparing it to the reference design (like OCUK sells).

Actual performance should be the same

The OcUK branded card (VTX) is not a reference design.

The OcUK (VTX) one looks cheap and ugly, and like ugly "women of the night" they demand less money. Also, the non-reference VTX cards lack voltage control so overclocks will be very limited.

...apparently.
