BFG vs ASUS

[Mr Bob]

I'm trying to find some information about BFG vs ASUS video cards.

Anyone have any help about where I could look? Some retard keeps telling me he owns a computer shop and all his BFG cards always have to be returned. Just need help with bringing the firepower.

Every ASUS Video card that I have owned had to be RMA'ed for a new fan. I'd be playing games and then the card would shut off or start presenting defects in the picture untill the fan was replaced.

I normally just stick with eVGA, but that's just me.

What video card specifically are you looking at?

Anandtech (and many other sites) do these kind of reviews. You can get a general feel for the quality of the company by comparing a few.

Geforce 8800
Geforce 7800 GS
Silent GPU
X1900 XT/XTX
Geforce 7800GT
etc.

My brother had the fan die on his Asus 9800Pro. They sent him a new fan and it died too.

My BFG 7900GT has been flawless since I got it in April.

I've bought many Asus motherboards but I stay away from their graphics cards.

Check newegg.com user reviews.

All video card mfg's will have defective cards at any given time. BFG offers a lifetime warranty compared to Asus w/ a 3 yr.

I'm mainly looking for people comparing the same card with different builders. Like a BFG card vs ASUS. The ones that JaAG posted seem pretty good.. a couple of them mention ASUS cards.

Thanks

All mfg's typically use a reference model, then they may change the heatsink/fan, core/memory clock speeds, and provide warranty for the card. EVGA, BFG, and XFX seem to be the top 3 choices for an NVIDIA card.
