    What is your criteria for better? By my criteria they are the same.

    I agree both these cards come from good companies and are very reliable. Unless you have a different criteria for better.

    Look at techpowerup the Sapphire looks to be more aggressively clocked out of the box than the Gigabyte. Personally I think it comes down to price as I believe both companies offer excellent UK based support should you need it further down the line.

    +1 for RVD.

    Sapphire is world reknown for their excellent high grade materials used in their GPU's and their excellent OC ability.
    Not saying Gigabyte is a poor brand in comparison, but I'd put my money on Sapphire before Gigabyte.
