not sure but i think XFX is manufactured by ECS so pretty unsure about quality there. i have heard some wild ECS stories though so they might have become a little better on quality control recently

Apparently they're getting better, and their customer support is good. If the price is good, go for XFX.

Maximum PC recommended the XFX 6800GT above all the other ones so they must be doing something right.

XFX is Pine...and Pine is made by PC Chips. I heard PC Chips was trying to improve their quality control, but for now I'd avoid them.

I've done a bit of research and compiled it into the nVidia Graphics Card Reference Guide and have found XFX to be questionable in quality - this is after looking at several forums of comments on performance and pricing. If you can, I'd recommend eVGA, Chaintech, or MSI.
