[JMWarren]

Between these choices. Have I left somthing out?

MSI NX6600GT-TD128E 128M
Giga-Byte 6600GT 128M
XFX FX6600GT 128M Dual DVI / TVout

Thanks for the Advice

XFX is garbage. Best brands, in order of bestness:

1) LeadTek
2) eVGA
3) MSI
4) BFG Tech

etc etc etc.

I have a couple Asus 6600GT, they run great.

Gigabyte period. DO NOT GET XFX OR PNY..they are both hopeless!!

theres no real difference between leadtek and evga....!! BFG is good and has lifetime warranty but one that you wouldnt make use of so its worthless paying a premium for.

eVGA uses reference designs, LeadTek designs their own (often better) cooling solutions. That is a significant difference.

BFG > all

 

[imported_Kensai]

MSI, BFG or Leadtek.

bfg pwns all plus a lifetime warranty that usually doesn't cost anything

BFG is $50 more than the other cards :-\ hardly worth the warranty...

Leadtek is the best quality...the other brands have a chance of the heatsink sucking or falling off...Leadtek is quiet, cool, and OCs decently.

So just get a leadtek.

BFG is about $40 - $50 more than other cards and the lifetime warranty is useless since u wont be having the card forever. makes no sense paying a "premium" for the warranty. EVGA and Leadtek are equally good if not better.
