Hey,
for my new computer I am going to be buying an 8800GT. I was wondering, what are the differences between these companies? And which would you go for?

MSI
XpertVision
Inno3D
Evga
Leadtek
Galaxy
ASUS
XFX

Thanks,

Cris.

eVGA & XFX > the rest.

ditto

u forgot bfg

EVGA! especially b/c they have different models of the same card... i always buy their top of line =]

xfx alpha dog edition get it

Really the only reason that people are choosing those companies is because they offer OCer friendly warranties -- lasting for the life time of the card(double in the case of XFX) and a step up program for eVGA. The quality between the cards aren't really different, but some of them do offer factory OCed cards.

Personally, I took the plunge and got a galaxy card. Will I regret this decision? Probably not. If you are really a computer enthusiast...you never really keep a GPU for more than 1 year anyways(the warranty period the most companies offer).

Only time will tell.

check it out - fastest 8800gt available

EVGA - Step up program
XFX - Great warranty ( & reliable. I've used them for years no problem)
Zotac - Fastest Factory o/clock.

Otherwise you can check which offers the greatest freebies; In the 8800GT case Asus offers Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts (Great RTS, and only 2 months old)
