Difference? My brother is about to buy a PC and he's looking for the 9500, which one of the two are better? the 9500 are pretty tough to find in canada and saphire is about everywhere, but if the saphire sucks in comparison.. Also, i guess saphire uses ATI's drivers and not their proprietary drivers? Possibility of turning it into a 9700?
Saphire is the vendor that actually makes the "Built by ATi" for ATi.
Yea i know, but im talking performances, any differences worth knowing?
Well...sapphire makes the "built by ATI" cards and their cards on the same production line. There is absolutely no difference between the cards physically.
Mine is a Sapphire one. Identical to a BBA, including the ATi logo on the fan.
When I received it thought that the reseller shipped the wrong card :D
OC it a little (too hot in RIo :)) with no issues. (Infineon 3.3ns)
Go for it bud!
id actually prefer the sapphire
How do you know what type of ram you get when you buy a card. I bought a built by ati 9500 pro and it has 3.0ns ram. is it just chance that I didn't get the 3.3ns ram or do all BBA 9500 pro's come with the 3.0?
luck of the draw. They come anywhere from 2.8 to 3.3ns.
