Asus vs Diamond..? I know and recognize both brands but the cards look the same. 2 fan setup, etc.
I haven't seen the benchmarks for those cards but I'd bet my bottom dollar the asus performs better. Asus is definitely the better company right now, and their design is improved over stock unlike how the Diamond looks I have an asus direct CU 6870 right now and it's been great. Very quiet unless I really put a strain on it, but that will be the case with anything.

Google reviews for benchmarks if you need more proof. http://tomshardware.com is an amazing resource and sites like overclock.net too.

Oh and never buy any computer products from futureshop unless it's a basic accessory. You will be overcharged for inferior, old, items. Either go memory express or order from an online dealer.
