I would more concider performance, Zotac Amp is factory overclocked and I know the improvmence is significant comparing to other 260, and they offer 5 years warranty if u register ur card within 14 days of purchuase, does evga or BFG offer any special editions of 260 and how are they performing comparing to standard 260's ??

I have a GeForce GTX 260 (EVGA) in an Asus motherboard and am having nightmares with both of them. Can't get any sound out of the HDMI cable and can't get anything thru the onboard (motherboard) if the card is running. Asus said their boards are better with ATi styles of cards.
FYI

XFX all the way. My XFX 8800 GT 512 still holds its own till this day. Their customer support is really good. Also got CoH with my card, plus a really good deal. I, too, would suggest XFX and EVGA. XFX has double lifetime warranties, meaning, you can sell your card later and the warranty will transfer to the buyer. I'm sure you have to register your card to get the warranty, otherwise it defaults to 2 or 3 years. I registered mines, and I'm set.

I just installed MSI's 260-216 a few days ago. I really enjoy it.

I think generally speaking, with exception of different core clock OCs and such, the card itself should benchmark the same regardless of brand. I can't image the brand itself make a huge difference.

MSI N260GTX-T2D896-OCv2 $189.99 - $30MIR = $159.99 + Far Cry 2
