I've heard tons of people say XFX is horrible, and I expect plenty to do the same in this thread. My FX5800 from them has be fine though. I have no experience with their 6800GT, however.

XFX is not good.

Poor build quality, poor tech support, poor cooling solutions.

Mine works great and run relatively cool. It OC's very well also.
XFX does seem to have alot of problems with their 6600 line, but I've read about very few problems with their 6800's. There are no guarentees of course, but I read about more problems with other brands than XFX (Leadtek, EVGA, even BFG) for the 6800's.

Ive heard about BFGs "dual fan" cooler failing a lot. But i have heard nothing bad about Evga or Leadtek.
