    Just wondering which manufacturers make the best quality cards, I know that ASUS and MSI are good but who is the best? And probably more importantly who don’t make quality cards?

    Anyone know if Sapphire makes good quality cards?


    Note that im not trying to start a war between ATi and Nvidia lovers

    Sapphire are great, from my experience selling them we never get any back, MSI and Asus the same. The nvidia one to watch out for is Galaxy. Iv a 6800GT and its my second one.. a friend of mine has gone through 3. Great card but half of them go gammy after a week.

    I would also personally steer clear of XFX, CLUB3D, and you couldnt give me a PNY card for free.

    My all time favourite would be Creative, its a shame they dont make them anymore :(

    XFX only had a problem with the 6800's, a bad batch of memory apparently - but their returns staff is great.

    Yeah Galaxy are the one to go for with 6800's. The cooling on those seems to be the best although you could buy a cheaper one and an artic cooler and it would work out cheaper.

    I like Asus, my old fx5200 was a beast for overclocking and i never had any problems with it, and ive never heard many complain about them, i think they are a very good brand

    Couldn't tell you. If I was going with Ati i'd get a HIS Artic model. They have the best cooling of theAti cards but again you could get a sapphire and an Artic cooler and do it yourself cheaper.
