I know this is a dumb question, but I was looking at some Radeon video cards, and I saw some called "Sapphire ATI Radeon 9800 Pro" or "Celestica ATI Radeon 9800 Pro" but also just plain "ATI Radeon 9800 Pro". What is the difference between those?
 
Radeon 9800 pro is the chipset, Sapphire and Celestica is the production company, ATI is the company that has the patent on the chipset. Think of it like a game. Say, Halo. Bungie studios created the game (ATI chipset) and Microsoft distributed it (Sapphire and Celestia). They produce the card and add the chipset made by ATI.
 
Interesting...so which are the best ones? Sapphire, Galactica, something else? Which one would you recommend buying?
 
Almost the same, only ,the price difference n came with difference softwares.
