Hello Guys,

I want to buy Radeon 6850. I am confused about vendor - Sapphire or Powercolor.

Which one is good in your experience in terms of service/warranty, overheating problems etc?

Thanks!

Build quality wise they both are good brands.

For service check with your local distributor.

BTW, i prefer sapphire over powercolor.

Powercolor is decent too. Just see the balance of warranty and price. If both are exact same configurations then choose the cheaper one. But I guess Powercolor will offer less warranty.

Both are good quality wise.
Powercolor provides 2 years warranty and is backed by Tirupati Enterprises :neutral:
Sapphire has 3 years warranty and is backed by Aditya Infotech :)

@Monkey Thanks for the info!

Btw....guys I am thinking to order one from Ebay Global Easy Buy
and Powercolor is appearing cheaper than Sapphire there.

@KaranTh85 - Yeah Powercolor seems to be cheaper.

@ssb1551 - Nope its not 12.2K in India.

Bitfang is selling it for 11.7K (With shipping) and Mediahome.in for 11.3K (without shipping charges)

Here is what i found at Ebay GEB-


Powercolor - 11,356
Global Easy Buy


Sapphire -12,241
Global Easy Buy

and after using 10% coupon for 1000 rs discount

Powercolor will cost approx 1000 rs cheaper - Rs 10,356 (with shipping)


What do you think guys? Please advise.

Would be better if you got the parts from India within. GEB will deliver, but you would be charged courier+import. Price would shoot up.

Ok, I missed that. Then I think you should be fine. But do ask the seller how the warranty would be handled.

oh wow...Xenforo!!!
U gotta b kiddin me!!U r importing an item from States without customs!!Is it even possible?

Err- yeah. Depending on the stuff you're getting its pretty feasible too. Even if you are importing a ROG board via newegg through iccworld, it ends up being significantly low cost. Before you say "how are you going to be RMA it, ROG's RMA procedure is different.
