i need help picking a card

[cholley]

i have to pick between these cards and would like some input
visiontek 6564 gef3 64mb ti200 or
msi 8851 gef3 64mb ti200
any input on features strength/weakness and review links are helpful

 

[spanky]

personally, i would get the visiontek becuz of the lifetime warranty

 

[cholley]

thanks spanky, i will take that into consideration, but have you ever had a video card stop working afte 30 days? or any solid state device for that matter?

 

[spanky]

why 30 days? it has not happened to me personally, but i just read a thread over in general hardware yesterday, where someone's 48x lite-on cdrw died after like a week. but i think the lifetime warranty is really useful becuz i have seen many video cards just die out after a few years of operation. having the option to get it replaced (even possibly upgraded) would be very handy.
