I would just like to know.....why the price difference, they all look like the same card, all have the same clock speeds on RAM and GPU, so why is there £100 between the cheapest and most expensive ? are you just paying for the name and would I really notice any difference between the Powercolour one vs the MSI one ?

I have the gigabyte, so when they came out initially the only difference between the cards was the bios and while early sapphire samples seemed not to be the best they are all the same card all on the same production line. The only thing that separates them is the warranty and RMA support available. This is why I went with the Gigabyte and paid through the absolute nose for it on launch day.
 
All the same. Just different brands just add more dependent on how fashionable they are. Apart from Asus that has always had an additional rip off tax added on for no other reason than its Asus. A bit like Apple.

On more serious note, i would say go for the cheapest just check the warranty first.
 
Thanks guys, I did actually just check the warranty out, I think i'll pay the extra £30 and go for the Sapphire one as it comes with a 3 year warranty, the Powercolour one has 2 years, all the others have 3 years too, no point paying the extra £70 for basically the same card.
