EVGA GTX 260/216 (2)
EVGA 8800GTS 512MB
EVGA 8800GS
Palit 9600GT

First three installed & Folding 24/7.

8800GS needs RMA for dead fan.

Other two just collecting dust.

Last three cards have been EVGA. I'm really surprised how few say BFG being they have similar products, warranties and slightly lower prices than EVGA.

MSI. Not my top choice, but it's what I could find. Looks like I may be able to flash its BIOS to the oc-unlocked version without warranty repercussions though.

My last 3 cards were all EVGA.

HIS 4890 now

Previously MSI GTX260, eVGA 9800GT, eVGA 8800GT, eVGA 8600GT, eVGA 7600GT, eVGA 6600GT


I'm a fan of evga and the mid-range nvidia cards as you can see

So the cards works perfect, but it could happen if I'm not careful - and I barely moved that capacitor just be handling the card, so I'm not happy. I have also heard bad news about Sapphire RMA. I may reconsider my Sapphire only policy for those reasons (my other ATi was Powercolor). XFX seems the smart choice these days. I'm also an Asus Motherboard fanboy so I would consider their video cards.

imho the two best ati vendors today are xfx (double lifetime) and asus (voltage tweak). I have also owned sapphire and his and the experience was perfect with both of them, though I didn't oc video cards back then and never had to rma one.

Yeah I'd personally put sapphire HIS and asus tied for third ATI man. based on what I've heard

MSI is starting to get into the tweaking game - they've got their Afterburner app now (another RivaTuner derivative, like EVGA Precision, functionally almost identical) but it has a voltage slider for cards with programmable controllers. Unfortunately, if you have a non-ASUS RV870 card, the default BIOS still doesn't let you OC more than 50 MHz, but at least MSI did release a pair of unlocked BIOS for those with the intestinal fortitude to flash the card. Unlocked from the get-go would have been nicer, though.

eVGA 9800GT 512MB. I am currently waiting in the new NVidia cards before upgrading.
It pretty much runs every game at high to medium, so I'm in no rush for an upgrade.

I just hope NVidia's new flagship cards delivers in both performance and price.
