Who do you think is the Best Graphics Cards Manufacturer?
I presonally like XFX and BFG the most. Also ASUS have decent Video Cards, but they are pretty expensive compared to others.
Since I have to choose one, I go with XFX.

Why, XFX, of course :wink: to be closely followed by BFG, eVGA and ASUS.

First and foremost XFX, then BFG then anyother but more so eVGA and ASUS also. Anyone who doesn't vote for XFX is in the wrong forum hehe :D

I have to admit everytime i bought a videocard from the original maker of the GPU.
ATI mostly and 3dfx back in the days.
XFX seam like cool people though giving away stuff like this.
I`d like to try one of them one day to compare and review it.

I can't vote for XFx (since I don't own the card:), hehehe). I think XFX, BFG and eVGA would probably be my choices. XFX has great warranty, they are the only company tha actually cover both the first owner and the second owner for lifetime. BFG is good as they make good overclock card and good CS (not sure if people remember, BFG used to sponsor us as well:)).
I have experience with eVGA and they also got a good CS too. I think the card itself is more ore less the same but the CS really separate one company from the other.

Well I have heard and seen third party makers use cheap capacitors on their cards so it costs them cheaper and can sell you the card cheap.
Not only capacitors but a lot of components on the card.
But I mean like i said i've only used the original companie's cards so I would really have to see if I can see a diff.
What I would really like to do is compare the XFX 6800 to my friend's ati x800 pro.
I guess we could make a review on that.

Cannot Vote for XFX because i have never owned one . Have had BFG but they clock the CPU the same at 2d as 3d so the text is not quite as good.

Honestly I have had all the companies and I have loved my BFG the most, I like how they are stock Oc'd and lifetime warranty they tend to be a bit cheaper cuz they lack other frrebies crap that i dont really want anyways, XFX is a close second but i have only had 1 experience and it was pretty good but i have used mostly bfg due to stock OC and lifetime warranty
At the moment, XFX has taken the lead position. Hard to beat their double lifetime warranty. Factory overclocking is a nice bonus for me. Prices are very competitive.
Strange people though with their affinity for molex. Or maybe they're just crafty. There are a lot of molex running loose out there.

I do not know if you notice the BFG 7800GS is factory clocked a 400MHz on the core over the 375MHZ NVIDIA reference. The XFX 7800GS is factory clocked at 440MHz. Nice job XFX :)

Really WoW I havent really checked out all the newest cards stuff but when I got my BFG 7800gtOC it was the best bang for buck 7800gt in my area so I got it and just like before, when I had my 6800OC from them, and a Pair of 6600gt OC i have never had a problem and found them all to be very high quality cards, and once again I aint saying XFX isn't good I am saying that I have only sed one of their cards the XFX 5700ULTRA ddr 3 edition :D :D It was a nice card then

I have to say XFX. When I was buying my 6600GTs I was comparing them all and had to go with XFX. I never used that brand before, but I'm quite happy with them now.
Card I have now was 1st XFX experience and all I can say is that as long as they keep overclockin', my games'll be rockin'!
Though I would never ever admit publicly that I have ever overclocked my XFX video card ( because that would void my warranty), pushin' this card past factory overclock is easier than factoring with the quadradic equation. Or so I heard.

All the companies I've ever tried in the past 20 years have made good cards in my opinion. What it comes down to for me these days is the warranty and customer support, that's where the companies rep is made or trashed. I'd have to say that any one of the companies that offers a lifetime warranty will be my pick for my next card, XFX or BFG more than likely. BFG has a big plus going for them as they are a US company based in the midwest only a few hours from where I live. We'll just have to wait and see what the end price is when I'm ready to buy my next card.
