Anyone know the difference between PowerColor and Sapphire Graphics cards?
I've looked at a two specific cards, both HD 3650 512MB DDR2 and all their specs are exactly the same so I am very confused! There is an £11 price difference though!
Powercolor
Saphire
Are they just the same card but with a different label on! |

You can usually trust the reviewers on Newegg.com. They tend to be overly picky, so if they say anything nice about something, it's usually good enough for the rest of us, heh.
It doesn't look like they're too fond of the PowerColors. There's not many reviews on the Sapphire's AGP, but there's oodles of love for the PCI version. I'd imagine the quality would be similar on the AGP. The reason for so few reviews on the AGP is probably that Newegg has a lot of gamers, they tend to go PCI for speed.
I think these are the two you're currently looking at (or close).
PowerColor

Good call! That's what I would have done, given the same choice. |
