I wouldn't even bother with the Visiontek version when the Sapphire is just a good. They're equal in all aspects. Though I don't know from a customer service POV. Still though, that much of a difference in price, no need to get the higher expensive one.

Umm... the name brand is different. Anyway, most likely, newegg is stuck with it and they don't want to eat the loss. Either that, or they just overlooked it.

Both are way over my Video card budget, regardless.
