Vote away. Choose the best video card manufacturer for both ATI & NVIDIA-powered cards. I made a second thread because in the previous one, most people voted before all the choices were added. ;)

I choose eVGA, BFG, PNY, Gigabyte, MSI, & ATI. The one I personally have had most experience with is PNY. I had to send my FX5200 in for an RMA. They sent it back in 2 weeks; not even the same model. I had an FX5200 with 1VGA, 1 S-Video. They sent me back a new card (still an FX5200) but had a bigger heatsink and fan, and came with 2 VGA ports instead of 1.

All these companies are excellent

Yes it is. His 6800GT is faster than a 6800 Ultra (400/1100).

But knowing GigaByte, they probably have the 6800GT overclocked already before selling it, similar to BFG. Not sure though.

Just imagine if he had gotten a 6800ultra.  He might have been able to hit 1.3 or more on the mem.

6800 Ultra's are much harder to overclock than 6800GT's.
