Conclusion - Part 2

The overclock that comes with the two cards don’t really bring noticeable increases, but the lack of rumor and the low temperatures are two important elements to consider: these two, together with a big margin of overclocking, could make the difference when it comes to these two models.

The Sapphire card is sold for around €335 in average (plus taxes) and the difference in price is justified by the great efficiency on the Vapor Chamber technology. The PowerColor solution is sold for €15 more compared to a normal HD 5870 in average, but also the custom heatsink system makes the difference. Worth spending the money for better solutions.
