Is there any difference in performance between these graphics cards?

Sapphire, ati and msi even if they are all radeon 2600 xt?

Is there any difference in performance between these graphics cards?
actually ati is the graphics chip manufacturer


sapphire and msi make cards using ati chips
Reply:Theoretically yes there is a difference. What generally happens is ATI/Nvidia will create a basic GPU (Graphics Processor Unit) that is where the 2600 code comes from thats the name of the processor.





Then what happens is the companies Sapphire and MSI will tweak or change the basic structure to make the card operate cooler, faster or better. There isnt a huge difference in the changes just think of these companies as professional overclockers. The ATI version is more like the stock version of the card where the MSI and Sapphire version are tweaked versions of the card.





What i generally do is google the card names and find some 3dMark tests for each card to see the difference. As i said this isnt huge but if your hellbent on getting value for money... thats your answer!





Hope this helps
Reply:Just different manufactures. (is there any difference with a Toyota or a Ford they are both a car). Some have better components. But usually there isn't much difference.
