Looking online on Scan I noticed several versions of the HD4850 by different manufacturers. I'm not really sure why, so I thought I'd post on here for clarity.
At the moment, I've got the Asus HD4850 sitting in my basket, simply because my Mobo is Asus too.
Thanks
It makes no difference really, just some come with more cables adaptors, and some have quieter or better heatsinks, the ASUS is good! :)
and different warranty's.
that's another biggy when thinking of which GFX Card to buy.
Seems fairly trivial then, think I'll stick with the Asus. Going fairly cheap on eBuyer at the moment. Cheers :)
As long as it dosent have stock cooling it will be fine :P
How cheap?

Best thing to do is look for good reviews with the card and different designers, if they unbox it yo u can see what you can expect to get, what kind of software and the warranty.
If you plan on getting an S1 and want to use crossfire then the dual slot sapphire will let you do it with regular cables. The others will need special cables. Other than that usually its looking for a better HSF or going low on price.
