XFX or eVGA?

Getting an 8600GT or GTS and was wondering if getting one or the other brand would make a difference. Thanks.

I prefer XFX for overall better quality, but EVGA has the trade-up program. My only real problem with EVGA is their noisy fans. For what they charge, they could do a little better on this.

XFX.

oh... and XFX is generally like 30 bucks cheaper than eVGA for some reason. i guess thats part of the trade-up program though.

yea... before the american dollar gets too low for me to afford one.

$250 is a good price for 8800GT of any brand

oh... buy.com has the XFX 8600GT for $115.

wait... what? what does that have to do with it being $115?

Alright i have had a few Video card over the years and i tust and like XFX for the Double lifetime Warranty yes so on and xfx video card 7X 8X cards with the Double lifetime warranty you can sell the card with the lifetime warranty it's awsome

thats tempting, but i placed my order with buy.com already. and i have a feeling i won't be playing crysis at all. sad days.

Lol, don't waste your money on an 8600GTS. Listen to Vaker5.

which brand is cheaper this week?

Yea, that is the one to buy.

Both are good.

XFX for the lifetime warranty transferable and cheaper price.

Well there's your problem!

Ah, yes. That would've helped a bit. I'm pretty sure the 8600 is the one that supports HDTV / HDCP. Probably a good choice for you then.

get evga they got the step up plan thingi, if u want to buy a better card within the next 3 months you just trade in your old evga card and pay the difference

EVGA. XFX Customer Support and Warranty terms Sucks:
[ 4/2/2009 1:39:28 AM] My Graphics Card just fan is running but not getting any display. If changed to any 2 othergraphics cards that I have I am getting the display. I would like to get the RMA number to return the card for replacement under lifetime warranty. Thanks, Raju.
[DANIEL_E 4/2/2009 1:42:26 AM] For the warranty in order to get the double lifetime warranty the card must be registered within 30 days of the purchase date. Going by the serial number the card was manufactured more than 2 years ago. If you do not have the receipt showing the card was registered within 30 days of the purchase date; then we`ll have to go by the date the card was manufactured. If that`s the case the card is out of warranty. Daniel
[ 4/3/2009 2:34:01 AM] The policy you mentioned is for the items bought after April 17, 2007. I am the original purchaser and I bought my item with the invoice date 12/2/2005. I also registered my product immediately. I have the invoice receipt email for my online order from monarchcomputer. I can forward that email if you need it.Invoice Number: 0351325 Order Number: 0474329 Invoice Date 12/2/2005.

[BRIAN 4/6/2009 11:45:36 PM] Hi Seshu, it looks like the card is out of warranty at this point and we cannot warranty the card at this time. thanks, Brian.
[ 4/7/2009 4:33:17 PM] What do mean by out of warranty. Please explain me Lifetime warranty terms.
[ 4/7/2009 4:36:24 PM] Is lifetime warranty is your marketing gimmick?
[DANIEL_E 4/8/2009 12:57:07 AM] Hi, the lifetime the warranty is only valid if you had registered the card within 30 days of the purchase date. Daniel
[ 4/10/2009 5:26:22 AM] I registered within 30 days of my purchase. Also 30 days registration policy is effective for the cards purchased after April 17, 2007. Not for the cards purchased before that date. Also at that time I received the Far cry game as I registered within 30 days. Please check your warranty terms my registration records carefully and do not reply for the sake of replying. Can you please provide me your supervisor`s phone number. I would like to report breach of your warranty terms to consumer advocates as well as government agencies. Thanks, Raju.
[DANIEL_E 4/10/2009 7:25:40 PM] Hi, the lifetime warranty is only valid if the card had been registered within 30 days of the purchase date. This applies to all video cards 6 series to present series that were purchased in USA or Canada. Daniel

[ 4/17/2009 2:00:32 AM] Then how do I got call of duty game. Requirement for it is I have to register in 30 days. And I have the game with me If you need serial number. You guys just want to avoid repairs of your products with some rules. I as customer am stupid buying your card for $300. Learned a lesson and no more xfx in my lifet time
[ 4/17/2009 2:06:06 AM] Also go read warranty policy for 7 series. "It states To qualify, any 6 Series or greatrer Graphics Card purchased on or after April 17, 2007 must be registered within the first 30 days of purchase or the protection for the card will be limited to 1 year." Did I buy after 04/17/2007? NO. Before that date.

Did I buy after 04/17/2007?
[MARK_C 4/17/2009 7:03:08 PM] Hello Seshu, The registration clause was always there. That was when the transferable warranty was added. Thank you. Mark
[ 4/18/2009 2:31:23 AM] Ok. Learned my leasson. So you want me put xfx card into garbage and Neve give you a penny again.
