I am looking at a GPU in the $500 range. I was originally going to get the PowerColor Red Dragon 6800XT, but saw that the Sapphire Pulse 7800XT is essentially the same price.

I know that the 7800XT is newer, but it only has two fans. I’ve also heard that the performance improvements in the 7000 series are minimal compared to the 6000 series.

Also this is minor but my local Micro Center does not have the 7800xt in stock, but I could get it from Newegg.

I use a 1440p monitor. Any opinions one which I should get?

    Either card is solid. Are you specifically looking at reference designs or are you including AIBs as well?
