I'm starting to plan my home gaming 1080p system, I don't play much "AAA" games I'm more into tactical games like Csgo, lol, I asked about the best budget 1080p card and confirmed it's still the 580, there are 3 cards that caught my eye. 

Gigabyte Aorus RX580 8gb sgd$345.00

Sapphire Nitro + RX 580  8gb SE sgd$419.00

PowerColor RX 580 8gb Red Devil Golden sgd$315.00

Why are the prices so different, is it the clock speeds? 

Is the sapphire card like asus? (a premium card)

Different manufacturers, different MSRP.

Also popularity, any factory overclocks, cooling solution, and stock availability will have an impact too.

The Sapphire NITRO+ SE is a *limited edition* card, so there will be a price premium.

 

Other then that, RX-580's are all the same.

A Gigabyte RX-580 8GB should be very similar to a PowerColor or MSi RX-580 8GB.

The saphire rx580 special edition just comes with a higher clock speed from the factory. I have one and have no complaints with it. It also adds some aesthetics if you're trying to build a blue themed pc.

GPU warranties here are just handled by local distributors, OP won't need to do anything with powercolor themselves.
