EVGA is the most expensive one.
Colorful GeForce 8800 GT 512MB is the cheapest one (200€)

Plus, when you register it on the eVGA website, you can do their 90 day stepup program. That card is 240...and say the 9800 GX2 will be 450. Within 90 days of your purchase of the 8800 GT, you can send it back to eVGA and only pay the difference between the two cards. 210 bucks.

Im picking two of those up when i buy my PC, but from TD.
EVGA is your best bet for the brand.
My full system showed up at the shop this morning for my R6. At least here in Canada (and I know in the States as well) it's probably one of the best known motorcycle exhausts around. Strange analogy..Sup wrote:

It is the best. The guy is Slovenian. I'm sure some people haven't heard about his exhausts but my point is if you haven't heard about something that doesn't necessarily mean its junk.il.laureato wrote:

I'm sticking with ASUS / MSI when it comes to GFXcards or MOBOs
Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
eVGA and BFG are both good brands especially with warranty.
Really? MSI is known to be somewhat crap when it comes to components. ASUS is good for MOBOs but I prefer EVGA for graphics cards.FloppY_ wrote:

I quite like XFX, after eVGA tho, and to a lesser extent BFG
Those are my three

They only rank equal to ASUS which rank among the top of the pop....

That makes no sense, why would you buy it to get rid of it in less than 90 days?Poseidon wrote:

Ye it makes no sense i know. Maybe to spend some extra money when replacing it with a new one? Dunno what these kids think when they do this thing.bennisboy wrote:

Buy an 8800GT today, and within 90days u can opt to pay the difference and get an 8800GTS. IF you so choose. Although, it might not seem that great an idea, if you bought, say an 8800GTS for christmas, and that new 9800GX2 comes out in the next month, u can pay the extra $50-100 dollars and get the new latest and greates part. Without incuring the huge expense of the whole new card, just the difference.

I've always liked EVGA Graphics cards. I've only had one ASUS mobo, no problems with it. My First Gigabyte board right now, no complaints. Haven't experienced much with other companies for those parts..
I'd go with more of the support and the reviews of the individual product you're looking at..

Yeah. If you have no need for a second card, why not send it in and let them "buy" it for the same price as you bought it for, and get a new one for $100?Bell wrote:

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
