powercolor or sapphire

[IanJill]

Hi

Ive got a Powercolor 9600pro ez didnt realsie it was ez version until other
week when i was reading a mag about the cards. Im having lots of problems with
mine and have gone back to Sapphire AIW9000 which is stable. IS it worth
getting rid of powercolor 9600 and buying a sapphire branded one? Ive got a
AGP 8x motherboard and dont know if the AGP 8x is causing probs, would it make
much difference if set 9600 to AGP 4x.

Thanks

I have a Powercolor 9800Pro and I love it, 4x/8x makes no real difference, a
few FPS at most.

personally I've had a lot better results with Sapphire cards over the last
few years

What kind of issues have you been having? I have issues with DX games;
People's hands and faces seem to have shards of glass sticking out of
them... I have tried every combination of drivers and nothing seems to
work.

What has been happening to yours?

What does 'EZ' mean anyway?
