Sapphire is a great card. I knew someone like Faceless would post (nothing against you) but one/two bad cards does not a bad manufacturer make, I think you had other system issues other than the card. They are excellent cards, please PM if you want to know more about them.

Powercolor are a weak make.
Every Powercolor Radeon I've ever come up against has had the rolling line problem towards the bottom of the screen in 2D and blurry 2D quality at refreshes above 75Hz on any monitor at any resolution. Also most come generally underclocked by roughly 10% - 15% from the official ATi specs, therefore deceiving people at what really they are. Their Radeon 7500 should be 7400, 9000s 8900 etc. The only ones that arent underclocked are the 9700's for obvious reasons. Everyone would spot the underclock on those cards. You would if you paid $200 + on a decent dedicated 3D card.

Actually all the PowerColor boxes say 'powered by ATi' NOT 'Built By ATi' like the others plus most of them come with 350Mhz RANDAC instead of 400Mhz and even most come with one instead of the Dual RAMDACS that everyone else have...
