- The Sapphire X800XL 512 MB has Video In as well as Video Out and thus has the Rage Theater chip. This chip is missing on the HIS x800XL card.
- The Sapphire card needs extra power through a power connector
- While the HIS has one VGA connector and one DVI connector the Sapphire card has two DVI connectors.
- The Sapphire card comes with a standard ATI cooler while the HIS card uses the Arctic Cooling cooler.
