Hey all.

I'm about to get myself a ATi 5850 and need some advice on which Manufacturer i should go with.

Is HIS the main maker of ATi cards like eVGA is with Nvidia?

I just want to know which is more skilled and more in touch with ATi/AMD

Thanks

It doesn't matter who makes the cards (well, kinda), but it's more along the lines fo who has the best warranty.
XFX has the best warranty on their cards, I would go with them.

PS: If you find a good price for one, let me know, I'm looking at the 5850 also.

Look for a good waranty, price and bundle.
These specific card is the same with all manufactures. If you compare them there is about 1 FPS more or less of a difference.

i say XFX for their warranty, but Sapphire has the 5850 Vapour X which is a good non-reference cooler. Id go with XFX anyway.

Had good experiences with em both but XFX generally is less hassle when you need to RMA something.
