:-/ Sapphire support sucks. I now regret buying my X1900XT from them.

:edit: As long as you don't have any problems with your card, then the Sapphire is the better buy. I haven't had any problems with my X1900XT or my brother's X850XT or my dad's softmodded 9800SE. That said, I had a sapphire X800 Pro (?) die in a computer I built my friend. Their RMA process sucks - you actually have to pay to RMA. WTF is up with that!?!? It's their ******* fault the card died in the first place, why should I have to pay!?!?!? I will NOT be giving them any more business.
