Video card question - which brand?
Hey - I'm going to order a GeForce 6600GT 128MB PCI Express Video card and a number of them are on sale at newegg at the moment. Would you recommend one brand over another?
The PNY is $99 after mail-in rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814133129 The comments sound like their customer service sucks but $99 seems pretty good. GIGABYTE's is $119.99: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125156 eVGA's is $129 after $20 rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130214 XFX's is $129.99: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150098 Here's the link for all of them listed out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ubmit=Property Any advice ASAP would be appreciated. |

I'd vote for the eVGA, but then again they are really all the same.

Cards I would use would be by:
Asus Gigabyte Evga (I believe this is the nVidia parent company?) Chaintech Bfg tech I tend to shy away from XFX because they're made by pc-chips...a low quality vendor... I personally buy Chaintech and have had no problems...I have also used Bfg tech before and Gainward I recomend getting the extra insurance from newegg at the time of purchase for these kinds of parts...that way they're covered past the normal warranty..

I'm and recent convert from nvidia over to ATI chipsets, but I would highly recommend ASUS graphics boards. I have had absolutely no problems with my current ASUS vid card...
