What's the difference between these two cards???

[KJamesJR]

XFX
Newegg.com - XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

SAPPHIRE
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100283FLEX Radeon HD 5770 FleX 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

What's the difference between these two cards performance wise? I'm looking for a card myself and I'm on a budget. After the rebate on the XFX they both come to the same price.... So what's the big diff?

XFX has a Lifetime Warranty

i would recommend the Radeon HD 5770 out of these to as:
1.it has a lifetime warranty (as previously stated)
2.compatible with windows 7 64bit (some people i know have had problems with the SAPPHIRE on 64bit)

Ill assume you're talking about the XFX because they're both HD 5770.

Yes he was talking about the XFX branded 5770.

as @Inked said i was talking about the XFX

Yeah, I'm sure the sapphire one works with windows 7 64 bit. If it didn't that would be an epic fail.

But yeah, the XFX has a better warranty.

@Druid it works ....ish lol. but once you get the 64bit drivers to install its fine.

I purchased both of these exact card as I was planning on using them in crossfire. However, they are not compatible ( another story) - I just had to switch out the Sapphire card after using it for 3 months, bought on the Egg in Sept, due to crashes (Black screen, lagging/freezing in games, etc. ). Switched it out for the XFX card which is looking good so far. I am looking into doing a RMA for the Sapphire card. So, one more vote for the XFX card here. Although time will tell on the XFX card as well - hopefully it will have no trouble in the future.
