To all Nvidia freaks, I need help deciding on 7800GTX

[joelo59]

First of all this is my first post, and I think this site rocks, anyways so..

I want to buy the 7800GTX but there are like a million makes out there. I want to buy a Nvidia because BF2 was built around it and BF2 is the only game I play online. Below is what I found on Newegg. What make is better and WHY? don't say is eVGA or XFX because its simply the one you got, really say why (example warranty, support etc). Thanks for the help.

Leadtek $529
Biostar $532
Gigabyte $535
MSI $535
Albatron $539
AOpen $544
eVGA $545
ASUS $545
PNY $545
BFG Tech $559
XFX $574

Well what can you recommend?

Definately go with the BFG model. It is at slightly higher clocks than the regular 7800GTX, but most importantly, there is a lifetime warranty on the card. As for performance, I'd think they're all the same... any 7800 GTX will rip through the game at the highest settings. Just make sure you have enough RAM and a decent cpu and you are set.

If you aren't going to overclock your card, then I would go with BFG due to the lifetime warranty. Most other manufactures have a 1 or 2 year warranty.

If you are going to overclock your card then the warranty doesn't matter, because overclocking voids all the warranties, including BFG's. In this case I would go for the cheapest big name manufacturer. From the list you posted I would go with Leadtek, Gigabyte, or EVGA if I was going to overclock.

BFG has an overclocked version, do this one has the warranty also?

[joelo59]

The box says lifetime warranty for the OC version, maybe I will get that one.
