Geforce 5900 Ultra 256MB - Which one?

[zeplan]

I have decided I will purchase the Geforce 5900 Ultra 256MB, the only question now is from which company.

so far I have seen:

Gainward FX PowerPack! Ultra/1600 XP 256M Golden Sample
PNY Technologies' "Verto"
eVGA.com Corporations' "e-GeForce"
BFG Tech's Asylum

I have no idea which one is better, anybody have any ideas?

edit: there could be more companies making them, if so please list.

The Gainward looks bad ass. But I've always liked Gainwards products. I'd go for it, if you have the cash.

Another vote for Gainward, excellent overclockability with their GF4 line, I was totally satisfied.

However, if PNY is still offering that ridiculously awesome lifetime warranty, that may be something to consider (in case you find a way to mess the card up [*COUGH* overclocking *COUGH*])

Peace

Gainward #1
BFG #2
Leadtek #3
I heard BFG warranty is a true lifetime warranty while PNY's is not.

Your welcome, I'm getting one there too. They always have good service.

I would get w/c ever one's cheaper. All 5900 Ultras should be coming from nVidia. If you value warranty then probably BFG. Gainward's are good for their Golden Sample cards.

BTW, I just saw the Fry's in Industry, CA. with a fresh batch of 5900 Ultras from BFG and their's seem to be from nVidia.
