XFX makes quality cards

[Schadenfroh]

I have never had any problems with mine. Anandtech seems to agree that XFX makes good cards.

XFX is another well known company that makes quality graphics cards

and the XFX card also got the editors choice in the roundup of 7800GTs, linky, even beating ASUS, which i have had trouble with in the past regarding their video cards, in the 7800GT roundup.

we're giving both the XFX GeForce 7800 GT Overclocked and the EVGA e-GeForce 7800 GT our editor's choice award.

Thoughts?

Never owned XFX card so can't comment,however I'm more then happy with my Leadtek 7800GT Extreme edition,it has the best image quality of any video I have ever had or seen,I would not trade it for the world,well maybe for a faster Leadtek .

GT's have the same IQ, only difference is cooling and ram.

I've just recently replaced my X800XL (lasted almost a year) with a new XFX 7800 GT which has seen actions in my Dell for at least a week now. By using latest 81.95 drivers though I am seeing improvements all over my games ie. fps, pict quality but thus far in Far Cry and Doom3, and one of my flight sim game I've experienced system lockup twice and graphic anomalies (texture ruptures) from time to time in various games. To date the card has always run at stock speed (no o/c period!). My temps in games seen normal too (hi 40c idle and ranges from mid 60c to mid 70c in load for most part, Dell's psu is 500w)
Also to note that my ex-X800XL though had run at lower res settings but rarely saw any thing like I have seen with the new 7800GT. Needless to say the new 7800 GT has caused a pretty small concern on my part for now.
I by no mean, am writing this to negate the OP, but just try voice my concern.
Am I having bad luck with a possible bad card? Or is it the way these 7800GT seem to be running at?

One thing stands out in your sig and I wanted to see if anyone else thinks this is a problem. You have the 7800GT and a ATI tv tuner card.
I remember I had "some" strangeness when I had my Ti4600 and a ATI TVwonder in my system at the same time. Now it could have been just my rig and in no way saying this was a widespread problem, by the only way I could get my rig stable, without blue screen or lockups, was to remove the ATI TVwonder and replace it with a hauppauge tv tuner card. I had no issues after that.
I would also uninstall current Nvidia driver and ATI tuner driver, and run/ rerun driver cleaner if you haven't already to remove any and all ATI/Nvidia drivers, (this will remove your ATI tuner card driver remnants as well. Then reinstall your drivers using the latest releases from Nvidia, and ATI for the tuner card.

Good Luck.

Running my XFX 6600GT... it's been working flawlessly for me.

Not listed in spec but mine comes with a 6pin pci-e power cable comes straight from the psu. I do know Dell had configued my simliar system with 6800U/6800Gt so power was not an issue.
I also used DC Pro to clean out all previous drivers including the ATI HDTV tuner. One thing stands out is I use XP MCE2005 not XP Home Edition.

Well Since BFG, XFX, and Evga all get the same cards from the same manufacturer you really can't say besides on default overclock that one is better then the other. XFX ran into alot of problems with shoddy packaging that would lead to cards broken out of the box. I believe they also refused to cover several cases like this because the customer would have to "abuse" the card to break off capacitors.
