just as the title says. I'm not familiar with Powercolor so would it be better to get it over the sapphire 6850? Price is almost the same.

6870 for very obvious reasons. The different brands between the two doesn't matter at all.

Just bought a Gigabyte 6850 on weekend.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125353O boy I was delighted. Chose this one due to double fan.

Too bad that one doesn't have a voltage controller. Strange, the non O/Ced Gigibyte 6850 version comes with the voltage controller but the O/Ced version doesn't....:shadedshu


Price being the same, I would get the 6870. If it was a big difference in price and the Sapphire 6850 were a Toxic like i have it would be a more difficult choice. My Sapphire 6850 Toxic does 1010/1250 O/Ced.
