Asus is very good for Nvidia and also overpriced than most, MSI and Gigabyte in the middle, and Inno 3d is known very good in poor countries like mine :lol:

The big 3 usually seem to be BFG, eVga and XFX.

I have had great luck w/ ati made ati cards... they make their own where Nv does not. They are the only ones w/ the all-in-wonder too... there is a premium for an ati brand though over others. Powercolor and visiontek both have lifetime warranties for ati cards, and i just got a powercolor because of that.

Of course all lifetime warranties from anyone are for the life of the card, not your lifetime... Still a longer than normal warranty. (asus and bfg are 3 years i think, not sure about others)

Asus actually makes Nv and ati... higher price but usually bigger software package.

many of my friends have bfg and love em.

I usually buy for warranty and rep, which some have neither...

saphire makes the "built by ati" cards

Isn't saphire owned by ati? not sure there but that is what I thought...
