JK1150 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I searched and couldn't find a topic on this, but I was wondering which is the best NVidia card company in your minds. i.e. PNY, leadtek, etc. There are too many to make a poll, but in your experience, which is the best.

Mike Mayer Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 BFG, XFX, eVGA, and Sapphire are the nvidia companies I trust... in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixated Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Gainward is quite good, especially their "GS" (Golden Sample) cards. They come overclocked, and the clocks are under warranty. You can even pull a little bit more out of them. ;) http://www.gainward.net/new/products/pcx/u...comparison.html I have a 3400 GS on it's way to me. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK1150 Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 PNY is nice, but I find it is usually much more expensive than it's competitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDog Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Asus in my opinion, from personal experience. I've heard plenty of good things about BFG too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted November 20, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 20, 2005 BFG = As already stated, overclocked out of the box (although not much more than you can do with any other card) but they also offer a lifetime warranty, which I can definitely say they stick by and do honor, as I have gotten a card replaced myself. After that I would say Asus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted November 20, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 20, 2005 Sapphire used to make nVidia cards. I buy Built by ATi cards because I had a bad experience with an XFX card. That doesn't mean I'll never buy an nVidia card. Once I feel the need to upgrade I'm going to get an nVidia or ATi card, whichever I prefer.

NextGen_Gamer Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 BFG and XFX are the best in my opinion. Both now come overclocked out of the box, and XFX has the strongest warranty in the business (Double Lifetime). I'm not sure why anyone would want to buy an ASUS card: overpriced, underperforming (compared to competition), and a weak warranty. I guess a lot of people still associate the name ASUS as the best though. Gainward was nice, but I wouldn't buy from them now as they have closed their USA offices and could possibly be going bankrupt soon. Leadtek is alright, just nothing special about them. eVGA is also a strong brand, and usually the cheapest. I usually suggest BFG first, but if the XFX version is a lot cheaper, then I go with them instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krome Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Never know about BFG but after reading this I think I should check them out as I was a fan of eVGA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stncttr908 Veteran Posted November 21, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 21, 2005 XFX, eVGA, and BFG all have lifetime warranties. XFX also gives a warranty to someone who buys your card secondhand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
