eVGA

I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. Asus, BFG, and eVGA are all topshelf brands in my book.

I think you will get better support from BFG and eVGA. (In the U.S. at least)

agreed. Asus is great and all but eVGA + BFG you will probably be able to understand for support

I've placed an order from online retailer for around $750 after tax and shipping. It seems to be cheaper than eBay.

Anyways thanks for the input.

ps: I was gonna wait for X1800XT but **** it. The wait and the price is not gonna worth it.

You just spent ~$640 US for a video card and eBay was more expensive?

If you need additional heating in your house get the xfx oc'ed version

The one he ordrer (eVGA KO) is clocked just as high as the XFX.

yeah, but the KO's cooler probably is a wee-bit more effective than the reference nvidia cooler on the XFX. I could be wrong though.

You're RIGHT. The AC3 really is worth it. I suggest either the 7800GTX with AC3

evga 7800 with AC3 cooler

or the overclocked 7800GTX (factory overclocked with AC3)

Factory overclocked 7800GTX w/AC3 evga

Two choices

ASUS Top
Leadtek

I got the Leadtek since the ASUS Top one wasn't released at that time.

It's CAD not USD

but it's still more expensive than newegg and that's why i hate living in Canada as most of the good deals are in US.
