    Simple for me, Connect3D by a mile. C3D are well reknowned for being a top notch manu whereas Powercolor have a worldwide reputation for cutting corners and very often perf (like using 64bitDDR instead of 128bitDDR etc). Without a shadow of a doubt I'd get the C3D. If buying in the top end cards (like 9800) I would buy the Powercolor if it was priced lower than other brands but other than that I'd avoid them personally.
