I like this MSI, less customer reviews, but has HDMI output, (my monitor has vga, hdmi, but no DVI in) Also seems to have better cooling setup than the xfx.

This XFX XXX has hundreds more reviews, a free game (I don't really care about that but ok cool), but no HDMI support so I would have to run it in either vga or use the Svideo hd cables.

-They both have the same clock speeds and memory, they both seem to have good reviews.

Also, if anyone knows of any other comparable nvidia or ati "budget" cards that are around that 100 dollar mark and comparable in performance feel free to chime in. (would like to stick to newegg.com, doing a build and everything will be from there I think) Thanks for your help guys.

ok

i like your choice i like xfx cards to me i think they perform better then the other companies cards but im not sure if im right where i stand on that one so i would say get the xfx card cuz right now i have one and i feel like if i get me a 8 series card soon its gonna be a xfx basically but do you plan on doing hardcore gaming or you plan on doing a lil bit if gaming
 
That ATI with the ddr4 is appealing, I would really rather get it from a better known company though. Out of only 11 reviews, a few of them are less than good, I know you can't judge a product by reviews on newegg haha but it still makes me lean more towards the XFX. Anyone have anything else, I think I'm going to go with the XFX but I really want that hdmi support that MSI card has.

You DO know that memory speeds or core speeds show nothing?

Look at the first 8600GT's link. The core is faster than a 8800GTS 320MB. Is it better than it? Nope... Not even close.

Stick with the HD3850.
 
care to explain the details oscar?

Sapphire is an amazing brand...Im using one and many of my friends use them

Like I said before, I'm trying to stay in the 100 dollar range.

I'm not saying sapphire is a bad brand just that card hasn't gotten great reviews.
