I got a sapphire for my latest card because it was the only brand with a 7900 xtx short enough to fit in my case (aside from the reference edition, which was of course sold out everywhere). Thus far my experience has been that it works and it doesn't not work. I guess that is as good as it gets, lol. There was some coil whine the first day I had it but that seems to have just gone away or I haven't noticed it and now I've had it for about 6 months.
