I love my Asus V8420S... but my Gainward Ti4200 Golden Sample card server me well for a year... had no complaints until I upgraded my CPU and motherboard, then the Gainward didn't like to be overclocked much at all. My Asus Ti4200 is happy at 325/650 though.

Only complaint I have about Gainward is that their website absolutely sucks. Looks like a high school student offered to do it for free... it lacks so many things that other manufacturer web sites have, like good product databases, and good product specs.

MSI has good support. I had a MSI GF4 4400 and the memory went bad... 7 day turn around on my video card, they didnt even ask for a receipt for purchase date.

ATi:

great cards
good OC-ers
good CS (RMA-ing defective cards never a problem, if u wanna exchange an old revision for a new one - they hook u up!)
dont cheat AS much as *ahem*

down point: drivers - never the greatest but improving like crazy! if they keep up the process, they'll be the best!

nVIDIA makes great cards too ... downside is their price and godawful CS (try RMA-ing a card :Q)

Leadtek!!!!

They have proven to have some slightly sicker looking heatsinks and nice software packages when it comes to stuff, and they dont overclock too bad either...
