which manufacturer will have the best 7800 card?

[Cr0nJ0b]

I'm looking to upgrade and I'm not sure who to choose. Any thoughts...

requirements:

1) Warranty, support
2) Clocking
3) reliability

thanks

Gainward.

The problem is that Nvidia's 2D output is a crapshoot.

BFG is a common favorite due to lifetime warranty and the best factory clockspeeds. I've seen few complaints about reliability, either.

Leadtek always gets extremely high marks around here for quality and reliability.

eVGA has the Step-Up program in case you think a 7800 Ultra might come out within 90 days at the same or similar price to what the GTX goes for now.

Bottom line, though, is every single one just has reference cards so there's little difference. And the chip hasn't been out long enough yet to give us any data on which brands' cards have better quality 2D.

with eVGA's new lifetime warranty and step-up, they'll soon be the leader by far.
