XFX GeForce Video cards.......any comments???

[dwruddock]

The system in my signature is actually nor built yet. I am starting the build today and will hopefully be up and running by the weekend. Don't have much time over the next few days, but I am going to try.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with the XFX Graphics cards, this one in particular, but any experience would be worth reviewing. I have always used ATI or BFG cards. Never really left that "home base" of manufactures. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal but now with the DUAL GPU setup, I want to get a good product at a decent price.

I am going to start off with just one card. I will run 3dMark06 on it then add the second card at a later date and run 3dMark06 again and see what happens. One thing I want to avoid is starting off with an inferior card that I waon't be happy with then double it and end up putting TWO used cards on EBAY. LOL

Well for one, try to avoid tigerdirect.

And second. XFX from what ive heard have been having issues, especially with the overclocked versions, just not as good as lets say eVGA. But I do give props to the better cooling usually seen and more bling.
Some good some bad, customer service is average. If I had the choice I would easily pick BFG, Evga, or even leadtek over them.

XFX is under the PC Chips umbrella and I avoid them for that reason alone.

PC Chips -> Pine Technology -> XFX
