    I was curious as to which card you guys/gals think I should get. I've been pondering it since I got shafted from the last seller. :( He cancelled my order, therefore I get nothing. :(

    Well here's the comparison of what they look like:

    Either could be better, it's totally luck of the draw. Saw some benchmarks on Rage3D where the Sapphire was very marginally ahead, but I'd say just pick the one that's cheaper and/or appeals to you more in terms of looks, and get that one. Chances of getting a moddable/good clocking core and RAM are equal on both, you could get lucky or not either way you go.

    Well I went with the Sapphire, and ordered it this morning.

    I leaned it's way for the following reasons:
    Overclocked from stock, which it's warrantied for.
    Overclocking software, Excalibur doesn't have.
    VIVO, Excalibur doesn't have.
    It was cheaper overall.

    Basically the Excalibur is a knock off in comparison to the TOXIC.
