PNY, XFX, EVGA, or BFG

Hey guys, I'm about to buy a new video card (8800GT) but didn't know which manufacture I should buy from. I've heard good things about EVGA and I like PNY's prices. I was wondering your opinion and if I should fork out about another 40 bucks for an EVGA etc.?

Thanks,
Hog

I like ASUS myself, not sure if they have a 8800GT though, haven't looked.

EVGA has a good warranty. Really, most of them are of comparable value and quality, it's many what little extras you want with the card - some have slightly better cooling, some have minor overclocking, that sort of thing. Whatever one you can find on sale is generally the way I go

XfX got your back, with a double lifetime warranty for a registered G card , your lifetime , and then the lifetime of the next guy who registers the card with same number . Bought my first one on ebay a Geforce 6200 defective , sent it to XfX they replaced it with a brand new 6800 GT , and was very helpful and prompt delivering the replacement and answering my questions. :2

Had almost the exact same experience as shadow. If you're concerned with service, go XFX

Exactly. eVGA llifetime warranty; good stuff. And it's what I own and it was on sale.

eVGA, all the way. Lifetime warranty, the step-up program is GREAT. Any nVIDIA product that i have ever bought has been made by eVGA. I have never had a problem with any of the products that i have bought from eVGA: 5200 PCI, 7900 GS, 2x 8800 GT and a 680i Mobo. Once my 680i mobo went out, (would not start up) I started an RMA on a tuesday and got the new Mobo on friday (just as fast as newegg.com).
