    Dude, who are you recommending this to? I thought you were asking the questions?

    The Gigabyte and Sapphire are the EXACT SAME THING. There is NO performance difference. Sam already explained this to you with the RAM, more money does not equal better performance.

    Ok W/E

    I give up dude. There is NO WAY it would lose FPS. There is always a margin of error, but it;s the exact same card.

    Yea i'mm thinking a lot I'm actually looking at the results real people have actually experienced with. U know those bars with comparisons those are only maximum results not lifetime. But thanks to all that helped me. peace.

    none are needed. you only need onboard sound, unless you are getting a sound card. optical and coaxial are digital sound connections.

    Estuansis don't tell me this, this thread was done and understood by me like about 1 week ago. check this out!!!! it's the best and owns everything I found out myself just didn't want to tell u guyz so u wouldn't get mad at me here it is =)

    I go for the second link, but idk for sure. Do they have the same bios? well yea the first link has better reviews though. But the second link is cheaper compared to the first link. and more mobo ram clock isn't much difference on it has another usb pci-e. I think they have the same bios and yea.

    The only bad reviews about the latter board are that their RAM didn't work (WTF) and that a big graphics card doesn't fit snugly - and that doesn't make any difference because you can screw it down and it will still work perfectly, it's what I have to do with my 4870X2.
    Most newegg reviewers are morons.

    Yeah I agree. A lot of Neweggers are stupid gits.

    And on the boards. I'd have to go with the cheaper one unless you plan Crossfire. And even then it would only be useful for like HD3850s because after that the 8x PCI-E slot will bottleneck you.

    And it doesn't matter what speed of DDR2 you use AFAIK. You could use DDR2-800 or DDR2-1333 and get roughly the same outcome. Faster RAM is usually only for overclocking to higher speeds as it won't really affect your performance stock. Thus my willingness to go DDR2-800 to have such low timings instead of fast RAM. I can take this stuff to 1066 pretty easily if I raise my timings but then that cancels out why I bought the expensive stuff to begin with XD.

    What do u mean latter board? Did you mean later board? Were u talking about my board latter or yours you showd me? Well for second link I think it's a cheaper price for it's overall rather than the first link. So yea.
