the only difference i see is this one claims almost 2000mhz effective memory clock which seems funny compared to the sapphire 1000mhz :shrug:


grabbing the core i3-540 processor and 4 gb ram as well
just wanna be able to play starcraft at hopefully 1680X1050 and have it look good

i dont know shit about video cards anymore
 
fwiw

i have XP32, saph 4890 vapor-x, 2 gigs ram, 2.5gz amd quad proc (i think 9885 or something) and it runs sc2 on high/ultra at 1920x1080 smooth except during some transitions during cinematics or at the start of a single player campaign. :shrug:

sc2 is still buggy so I'm not expecting flawless graphics anyway. For single player, i enjoy high/ultra settings but for multiplayer, I can't really tell the difference between ultra/high and medium so I put the settings down for higher frames. That's just my pref :)
