Which 7800GT OC would you buy ? from ME ?

[imported_arklab]

I?m going to order a Nvidia 7800 GT factory overclocked TODAY!
However, I may want to sell it in a few months (when Nvidia?s new 71 super GPU come out). :beer:

I?m wondering which brand some of you might be most interested in buying from me, provided the price is ?right??
I?d expect to offer the card for about $200, or $100 less than it?s current price at that time.

The cards that have caught my eye now (and why) are:

1) XFX ? due to double lifetime warrantee (but some question tech support response)

2) EVGA ? due to the copper heatsink and Lifetime warrantee

3) BFG ? due to Lifetime warrantee and excellent 24/7 tech support

So which would you be most interested in?

Or, something else??

Thanks!
PS: replies are NOT binding

Can't go wrong with EVGA!

just buy an evga so you can use the step up program.

But I understand that's only good for 90 days, so would be of no help by the time the new cards come out ?

The XFX warranty carries over to people if you sell it, but from what I heard someone who read the warranty terms say, the warranty becomes so hindered it is useless.

Go eVga, although I do not plan on buying it from you, if I wanted to buy one that is what I would get.

you should be within 90 days. i hear march. we're almost feb now.

edit, if you're worried you'll miss it then get the xfx with the transferable warranty.

Well, Thanks to all who have helped me out. :thumbsup:
When I started this thread my most recent knowledge about Video Card technology was at the ATI 9800 AIW level.
Although I did read as many reviews and posts as I could before posting, it?s been the responses of the Forum Community here and else ware that have given me the ?final knowledge polish? to make a purchase with confidence. (And if this expensive monster doesn?t work, Boy are you guys going to get flamed!)

Anyway my purchase is (drumroll please) ? the EVGA 7800 GT CO with a factory GPU speed of 470 and memory of 1100.
I purchased it from Clubit.com (which has a resellerratting.com of 9.7x) for $309 plus about $24 Calif. Sales tax <sigh>, and free shipping.

256-P2-N517-AX $309

What is kinda weird is they have it priced CHEAPER than the SLOWER evga card (GPU 445MHz; Mem. Clock 1070 at $326!

One other thing anyone thinking of buying today or tomorrow might want to know ? with purchase of this card there is an additional $30 mail-in rebate IF you also buy any AMD Athlon 64, X2, or FX!

But it?s only good for purchases thru Jan 31st, and only from these merchants: Aspect Computer, MicroStandard, Mighty Micro, ClubIT.com, Tiger Direct, ZipZoomFly, or CBW

AND it?s really HARD to find (like there trying to hide it!) but here?s a link to it:

As always, CAREFULLY read everything for yourself!

Thanks again for all your help! :heart:
