I am looking at buying a Geforce 6800GS 256MB PCI-E, to upgrade from my Gigabyte 6600 Turbo Force Edition 128MB PCI-E card.

My question is, out of Microstar, Galaxy and Sparkle, for the 6800 GS, who makes the better card?? which brand should I go with (the price is not relevant here, i'm after mostly quality, and maybe performance.)

thanks!

leaking capacitors??

and you think i should go with MSI, can you tell me why?

Because they got over all that leaky capacitor bullshit a few years ago.

My honest, serious answer to your question is get which ever card has the best warranty.

If all their warranties are the same, then get whichever card looks better.

Maybe try and find out what the memory on those cards are rated at...maybe one of them has somethin' special if you know what I meanhttp://www.mastabeta.com/forum/images/smilies/browsmiley.gif
