Gigabyte 7800 GTX?

[BroadbandGamer]

ZZF has the eVGA, Leadtek, XFX, and Gigabyte 7800 GTX in stock. I've never heard of any of these companies except Gigabyte. Should I go with the Gigabyte or is there some reason I should go with another brand?

Thanks,

I've had a couple of LeadTek cards and they gave me no issues. I've heard good things about eVGA, and their step-up system is a pretty nice feature should a faster card come out relatively soon. As for Gigabyte, cant comment.

Personally, I would go with LeadTek.

Wow, that's surprising that you have never heard of other companies.

I would pick in this order:

1. Leadtek- excellent quality and software bundles
2. eVGA- excellent quality
3. Gigabyte
4. XFX - horrible quality in the past, bad customer service.

I agree with the above post.. except ive never had an issue with an XFX card.

XFX comes overclocked apparently (450 / 1250)
so does eVGA (450 / 1200)
I'd say wait, though, as the BFG comes 460 / 1300, highest overclock out of box, lifetime warranty, excellent service, especially since these all seem to be coming at MSRP. I'd get that when they come in stock.

1. BFG/eVGA/Leadtek
2. XFX/MSI/Gigabyte
3. ASUS

The only reason that ASUS is last is because some of their product names are misleading, such as the ASUS EN6800 Ultra Extreme. Most people would think that this is a 6800 Ultra Extreme Edition (which has a higher clock speed than a regular 6800U). However, it is just a normal 6800 Ultra. It just happens to be that they add the suffix "Extreme" to their cards.
