What's the hottest $300ish video card right now?

[tech249]

Just bought a Opty 165, A8N32-SLI Deluxe and 2gb ram. Now I need my video! I'll be running the 2405 on it.

Thanks!

Generally one brand has the best one due to clock speeds, etc. Any insight to who these vendors maybe?

Thanks!

evga sounds nice to me. BFG warrentee with a much better price. And that step up program...

3 brands evga/bfg/xfx have a straightforward true lifetime warranty correct?

 

[Malladine]

yep, 7800gt

 

[tech249]

eVGA; good stuff.

 

[RollWave]

How well will an OC'd GT power that 2405 though? I'm in the same boat right now!

Especially if you are an Overclocking junkie that like to slap on massive cooling power and then overvolt it to death. (X18/9 series cards support software voltage adjustments, which means no v-modding)
