Which 7900gs, xfx or EVGA

[lancec2c30]

I dont know whether to get the xfx extreme edition or evga 7900gs. The xfx is clocked at 1550mhz effective, and the evga is only clocked at 1380mhz effective. both are about $150. Which one

I am an EVGA fan, so I am going to say EVGA. Even though the XFX is clocked higher, I feel that EVGA puts out quality, stable components, and their lifetime warranty is next to none. It even covers overclocking, so you can put it past 1550mhz, and not have to worrry about it frying and you being out 150 bucks.

ya I am thinking evga also, but just curious to see if there are better options.

Nice order . I am hoping to get a G5 mouse from my mother for christmas, but it is unlikely. I just won an ATI X1900 AIW from a forum though, so I am set in the video card department.

I had a tube of as5 lying around, I hope I can find it before I rebuild my computer tomorrow.

wait you WON a 1900? holy crap how did you do that?

It is not my place, so I am not spamming the link.

They are running a contest for a G11 keyboard this month, and it is a great forum.

I got lucky, I have never owned a graphics card, I have been onboard since day 1, so having a NICE card is a real treat. Now I just gotta get the rest of my computer up to specs.
