My Friend used to have a Asus and the copper heatsink simply falled off after a while You got any proof to backup your claims? Nothing wrong with ASUS and Gigabyte cards! |

They would be the one to go for I'd 2nd the Palit brand. I had a 7600GT, it looked cheap(WAS CHEAP) but the fan was the quietest I never heard, & it cooled very well. Didnt need the Zalman fan I bought at the same time. Leadtek are good, but pricey. |

The fact that a lot of people use the nvidia reference design, means they'd all look the same with different logos, doesn't mean they all come out the same machine but then I wouldn't be surprised they did either. |

| 598584 | 2007-10-07 22:17:00 | That's why I sold the Inno3D 7600GT about a week after purchase and got myself a Gigabyte 8600GT - that and the 8600GT has a massive heatsink and no fans :D | Agent_24 (57) | ||

See that's what I was told too, about them coming out of the same factor. Like I know Asus actually make Toshibas laptops, Apple laptops, iPod and Sony's Vivo. Well this hasn't helped much lol ... is it a fairly safe beat to go with Asus? |

| 598586 | 2007-10-08 00:35:00 | Like I know Asus actually make Toshibas laptops, Apple laptops, iPod and Sony's Vivo. ASUS also produces components for other corporations, including Sony (PlayStation 2), Apple Computer (iPod, iPod Shuffle, MacBook), Alienware, Falcon Northwest, HP and Compaq. Which is not the same as making the entire thing. |
