Hi, i'm new to Tom's Hardware and i'm considering dropping $1,000 on a couple of video cards because i'm tired of my 6600gt setup and i want to run oblivion at maximum (Hopefully). The 7800gtx series is thus in my price range but i dont know which company i should use? I hear xfx has a lot of technical issues. :?

Any and all suggestions are welcome and much appreciated.

price says it all but usually for nV, evga cuz their price +warantee is good xfx is good too. bfg suck

Best IMO;

nV = Gainward
ATi = HIS

I have XFX 7800GTX's (SLI), and can report no problems. EVGA has been promoted by an associate of mine as being the best in the market if you're going nVidia, though ASUS is still a company I would go after if money isn't an issue.

That being said, the gent who submitted buying 7900GT's has a point, they most likely will beat 7800GTX's at the same or possibly lower prices, may want to hold out a little longer and see what benchmarks say...

Thanks everybody, the 7900gtx sounds good to me but i cant afford it yet (a little over my $1k retirement fund).
Maybe i should just be impatient and go with a couple eVGA 7900gt's. :?:

Where's BFG???

I've always had good luck with Leadtek/NVidia and they usually OC well on stock cooling.

Best results give Asus but also takes alot of Watts.

LOL, I was about to comment on dual 7800GTX as a lousy way to go now, when I see you revived a soon to be two year old thread. Glad I checked the date.

Hi can any one tell me which company is better for 8800gt. Is it EVGA or XFX

hoh
