All manufacturers are pretty much the same, some are better than others thouth naturally.

My personally recommended ones are HiS, Galaxy, GigaByte and XFX.
Dig around as some manufacturers factory overclock their cards and many that do have a warranty on them covering that overclock.

I prefer the BFG, EVGA, and XFX cause they usually overclock them and then warranty them that way ^_^.

Forgot about BFG, they are good makers to yes.

I only use Jaton video cards cause they're Aussie made, they make the cards exactly how nVidia recommend them to be made, i've never had a dud card (by the way, i've been selling them for years in business), if you do have any trouble you can ring an english speaking human, not a robot voice etc etc, and all in all they are great cards. If you want overclocking etc.....then BFG, Gigabyte and HiS are also okay. My years in retail, wholesale and corporate IT has taught me to stick with what you know.....

BFG is the only name that matters, well eVGA are great too.

I use XFX or BFG...my current 6800 is an XFX. :)

I've heard horror stories about XFX's customer service...

The nice thing about BFG is they are overclocked out of the box and they have a lifetime waranty.

Not many card manufacturers do that...

XFX or eVGA for nVidia cards. If you got an ATi Card go with SAPPHIRE.

BFG, eVGA, or PNY. i have a pny.

BFG cards are good, plus their technical support is fantastic.
