Worth looking at brand when shoping for 8800gts?

[kent1146]

As many people have already said, brand definitely matters. 2 to 4 years from now, you have a pretty good chance of having some kind of problem with your video card... whether it be the signal crapping out, or the fan spinning slower because of dust build-up, etc. It's good to have a company that will provide product support 2 to 4 years from now, and even better if they have a US mailing address.

Having said that, you won't be unhappy with your EVGA purchase.

ive always brougt cheapest brand high end cards and never regteted it.at the moment im using an oem 8800 ultra no brand that cost me £320 on ebay no box or instructions but you could tell it had never been used. i think thats about $640 and cheaper then a gtx over here in uk.ive also used ocuk value 6800 gt leadtek 4600 ti and what ever cheapest 9700 was at the time and never had a problem with any.however if your interested in warranty then evga is said to be about the best

Not that I'm biased or anything but I vote EVGA

I've never owned an eVga, but heard only good things from them. LeadTek made one of the best GeForce ti4x00 cards, but I haven't heard much from them lately.
