GeForce 8800GT Manufacturers

I'm stuck with which manufacturer should I go with for the 8800GT

First of all, let me tell you that I'm not planning to buy online and I'm in the middle east so prices are a bit higher than the average. Secondly, the 8800GT is super rare. Unlike the 8800GTS which is available everywhere. I am really indecisive about my purchase, I've manage to find only 1 8800GT but not sure if I should wait 1 week till the other supplies get more 8800GTs.

Now, there are 4 manufacturer 8800GT that I've found:

1. XFX 8800GT 512 600mhz - He wanted ~$350 for it
2. EVGA 8800GTS (forgot its details but I think its 600ish mb) he wanted ~$515 for it
3. EVGA 8800GT (that's NOT available and god knows when it's going to be available) for ~$290
4. INNO3D 8800GT 512 600mhz - will be available in a week - for $250

I have an idea that EVGA is the best manufacturer, or at least a decent one. I have no idea about XFX or INNO3D, the INNO3D sounded like a good deal but I am afraid that it lacks quality because of its cheap price. The reason why the XFX costs so much is because there are none in the market at the moment. The only one is the XFX the rest are coming soon "hopefully".

So, I really can't wait a lot that's why I haven't ordered online. Should I go for the XFX or get the 8800GTS EVGA or wait few days for the INNO3D 8800GT that's much cheaper?

I don't mind paying for a 8800GTS if it's a good card. Heck I have no idea of getting an Ultra or GTX if they are good. But what I've heard is that the 8800GT should be the way to go for Quality/Price value.

Any advice?

i recently got my XFX 8800 gts alpha dog edition (g92) no probs so far this is my second XFX card build quality is good and it has a double lifetime warranty what is the gts is it one of the old g80 cores or is is the g92

All cards are more or less the same. If I were you, I'd go with the cheapest, Inno3d. They aren't bad at all.

Oh and do not get the 8800GTS 640mb. It's old and outdated. The 8800GT will beat it soundly at a lower price. Also do not get the Ultra or the GTX. They are also old and outdated.

The two new cards nvidia came out with are the 8800GT and 8800GTS 512mb. Both are excellent cards, however the 8800GT is the best bang for your buck.

Alright, how do I check if the card is G92 or not? (I don't want to buy online)
