I am looking at 2 x850pros made by powercolor and sapphire. Both of them are OEM but cost $50 difference. Why such a difference in price? I was reading that companies use less plys of PCB to bring down the price, is this the case with them? Or is it just a good deal?

I'm thinking it's a brand name thing, cause the cards are identical. PCB is so amazingly cheap, I'm sure that's not it.
 
I would go with whatever is cheaper. Other than that it doesn't matter. Same exact card. I like the sapphire brand better though because it just so happens to be that a lot of the ati cards that have passed through me are sapphire.
 
pretty much the brand name and maybe a difference in warranty..... Personally I'd go with whatever was cheapest at the moment.
