Torn between three cards

[Tullphan]

I'm torn between these three cards.
None appear to come with any "goodies" besides the usual stuff.
Just go w/the cheapest or what?
Thanks.

Of those 3 XFX Hands down. Its clocked faster of the 3 has double lifetime warranty so if you decide to sell it the guy you sell it to gets warranty aswell. Just register it as soon as you get it. Granted you could probably o/c the other two to the same speeds but if I can pay $10-$20 and have it factory o/ced I always do because having to use apps bites.

I think I found the card you're referring to here?.
How's BFG's customer service compared to the other 3 companies I was looking at & are they quick to send out rebates?
I guess this is top of the line for the 7xxx series?
Dang...I started out looking at used 6600GT's for $40, then 6800's for $75, then 7600GT's for $90...where's it gonna end??? It'd help if I could get some of my stuff sold (see FS/FT link below)!!

The BFG $150 card is a sweet deal.

The next step up is $170 X1950XT 256mb which smokes them all.

Here is how 7900GS OC compared to 7950GT OC and to X1950Pro.

I personally would go with as cheap as possible that will get you by unless this has to last you for the next year or two. By the end of the year there should be some killer performing DX10 card for less than $200. Reason I bought a used 7900GT KO for $120 shipped. I couldn't give $180+ for a DX9 card. I don't count rebates because sometimes those are hit or miss.

I hate them.

So a 6800GT used for ~$75 or a new 7600GT for ~$90?
