Which 8800 GTS to get?

[timehopper]

I need to get myself a card for my new pc and i'd like to get an 8800 GTS 640 MB, but i'm not sure which one to get. I know that eVGA and BFG are respectable card manufacturers, so i was looking at their cards. PNY also looks pretty good judging from Newegg reviews. So which one should i select eVGA, BFG or PNY?

I went with EVGA. I like it that they give you an upgrade option.

What ever you pick will be fine. I personaly perfer eVGA - lifetime warranty even when you oc, step up program.

My choice prefrence.
1.eVGA
2.BFG
3.XFX

I have BFG and it OC's perfectly. And three year warranty. VERY IMPORTANT nowadays...

Thanks, I appreciate the suggestions. I read a review at techreport which said that BFG also offers lifetime warranty, but i think its more expensive than the others, so i'll probably pick up a eVGA.

Yea i agree with the others i would def go with the EVGA. There cards are just as high quality as BFG and offer all the same performance but at a little less cost. But add onto that a Lifetime warrenty and a limited step-up program to give you the option of upgrading to a GTX or even a 8900 series if they are out in time.

What is the difference between a warrenty for parts and for labor? Doesn't really make sense to me. They both go into making it...

Manufacturer Warranty
Parts 3 years
Labor Lifetime

I purchased a Foxconn OC 8800GTS when it was on sale and this is the warrenty they gave me. It probably would have been better to get another brand, in retrospect, but whatever. There's really not that much of a difference.
