I'm planning on getting a geforce 7800GT and I noticed that some of the cards are of course factory overclocked I was wondering if this can cause stabilty problems?

Also what are your opinions on the best geforce7800gt brands(support,warranty etc)? e.g Evga,Leadtek etc?

No, they only overclock the chips that can work at the overclocked speed. They wouldn't send you an unstable card, and if you happened to get one, you could send it straight back for a replacement.

the cards that are overclocked by manufacturers have been tested/hand picked. So, they are like 99% sure to work stable
