| 571617 | 2007-07-23 04:40:00 | As far as I'm aware the majority of 8800's are made by nVidia so the only difference between the brands is price and bundle. ASUS and Gigabyte have 3 year warranties. Take your pic depending on what you prefer. |

| 571618 | 2007-07-23 05:08:00 | The majority of hardware review sites haven't updated their reviews since the initial release. AMD/ATi has had several driver releases since the 2900XT was released and in all released there has been substantial performance increases. Which have yet to surpass the performance of the GTS!! The 2900xt has no dedicated AA filters, therefore uses slower shaders, is still slower and more expensive than the GTS and with G90 to be released in the next 3 months, G80 prices will drop further. 7.7 cats still have bug in COJ DX10 |

| 571619 | 2007-07-23 05:11:00 | I also quite like Leadtek as a farily good Brand. And Gigabyte & ASUS as already nentioned by others. Not so sure about the really cheap brands, and I wasn't aware of nVidia manufacturing the cards - in the past they have produced the reference design and manufacturers choose which features to implement, what brand/speed of RAM to use etc and manufacture their own version based on the reference. Is this not the case with the current 8800 series? |

Is this not the case with the current 8800 series? I'm not sure how it works, but I think nVidia/ATi makes all the GPUs, and their partners (Gigabyte, Asus, etc what have you) makes the PCBs and slaps the GPUs on their own PCBs. Then slap on either reference cooling or modified coolings. |

| 571623 | 2007-07-23 11:58:00 | XFX, eVGA, BFG are good, but expensive. Asus / Gigabyte should be cheaper. I'd stay away from Inno3D and the rest, not as good quality as the others |

| 571624 | 2007-07-24 01:14:00 | so when will they come out? what month? start or end | GHOSTN (12510) | ||
| 571625 | 2007-07-24 05:21:00 | Hi not trying to hijack the thread but was wondering what is more important in a graphics card? 400MHz or 450MHz? Dual Head or not? Memroy Bus 256 or 128? Or something else? these are specs for two different cards, respectively, which one is better. Both are GeForce 7300 GT, one Asus the other Gigabyte. Thanks Meg |
