Hi. I had almost decided on MSI HD 5770 HAWK. But after sales support issue came to my mind. Is it okay if I get the MSI HAWK from SMC? (I've heard he is distributor for MSI). Or should I get Sapphire reference design card? Both are at the same price point. I'Ve heard that sapphire provides good after sales support. So, please help guys.

Thanks. Why is Sapphire's reference card running at such a high price, costlier than MSI HAWK? Is it available at less than 9.4k anywhere?

I bought the HAWK for 11k in Assam and its performing way higher than i expected. Well my previous card was 8600GT so you guys know my condition when i got the HAWK.

Got it from datamation i gues, or your dealer got it from there. most of the shops in Assam will try to keep around 20% profit. Also find the national dirtributer's nearest service centre. Most of my friends and I have faced a wall on the dealer's end while going for warranty after 1 year.
