from the graph it shows tht xfx performance not so good compare with other brands -.-

Adoi...reference cards lar.

Only sticker and bios different niah. Just get the cheapest.

As always,Leadtek is always amongst the best(if not the best...),saw the MSI card at lowyat recently.....,that's when i realised how big the 8800GTX's really are.....

i always believe in asus's engineering, durability, and reliability. to me, if i can hook out more cash, like say, Rm100+ or sth, I'l go and get Asus.

Other wise, if no overclocking, then MSI will be my choice. i'm an MSI user, no problem at all. It cheap, and you're getting the same thing btw. in this case, most 8800 in the market are manufactured by Asus and re-badge by other brands.

in my opinion i wouldn't bother getting the BFG water cooled edition - simply cos i know it's gonna cost a BOMB... sure it comes with a danger den waterblock, but in the coming weeks / months there will be loads of water blocks coming out for the 8800 GTX, so why not just get the normal 8800GTXs and fix your own waterblock in future? i think it's always better 2 fully customise ur cooling system whether it's air / passive / water... best performance that way la.

as 4 myself, i went for the MSI version, as it was the cheapest n had good reviews. wanted the eVGA version but couldn't find it anywhere so i settled for the MSI. when lots of cooling parts r more available for the 8800 then i'll rip the stock fan / heatsink off my GPU then add a waterblock. jus my 2 sen

after hundreds of problems cuz by MSI boards(except the 1's labelled platinum) i won go for them anymore... Asus engineering and Gigabyte Stability are the most trustworthy... there's a rumour tat these 2 warlocks are merging to be a master warlock...

ok bro. but honestly it's easy 2 say this sucks that sucks etc etc... however sometimes it's a matter of opinion (and luck maybe?) as different ppl have different experiences wit each board and manufacturer. For some, Gigabyte (for example la, not sayin' it's bad or good) works wonders, for others, not such a gr8 performance. am not sayin ur wrong tho as i MYSELF hav had problems with MSi products in the past too...

Meh, they're basically more or less the same, all the same PCB, same cooler, etc... If there are discrepancies between the various brands in regards to overclocking then that card simply has a potentially more overclockable chip (however, the BIOS does play a role here... hm...).

so far i suppose the best 8800 GTX out there for now is the eVGA version.... my fren has JUST added a danger den waterblock 2 his 8800GTX... damn i'm jealous

any pricelist information?

Actually, when it comes to buying graphics cards; which brand matters little as they are all based on the same reference design. The differentiating factors are in:

. memory speed used: some vendors claim to use "faster" memory although usually it's just a factory overclock

. custom coolers: although for the 8800GTX these have yet to surface. Careful though, stock coolers have been known to perform better than the custom cooler.

. bundled software / hardware. Asus likes to bundle a webcam, sometimes the games included are pretty good. Generally however the freebies are crap-in-a-box.

To me however, a buying decision is based on level of support. I need to be sure that should the card develop problems I'll have no problems swapping it for a working version. This depends on the shop you bought your card from and/or the local distributor.

I support Leadtek coz price cheaper than other brands and higher performance... I'm Leadtek 7600GT user, i like his performance n design layout of its GC, cooling system noiseless....

b4 i tot xfx is a good n high performance card for nvidia but this graph show the weakest card =.="

Say that to the XFX fanboys and they'll be quick to defend XFX......

xfx, and evga can get cheap price in kingmaker bulk, but look evga lil bit better then xfx

does anyone knows how long local Evga warranty have? and have anyone seen any evga 8800gts?

around 2400 in c-zone pricelist

anyway who wants 2 get this 4 christmas?
