hi all,
i have nailed my choice of cards down to 3 but cant make my mind up as to which one is better and since this is a forum full of experienced and talented modders/builders could i by chance ask which would you have in you system if the choice was given to you for a Top Sli setup and later Tri-sli based on....
Hardware reliability..
Ease of warranty/rma in case of problems...
Brands quality control (cherry picked + may get extra o/c speeds)...
Cost...whether its worth the price compared to the other brands even if higher
1.. EVGA 1GB GTX285 SSC (Now Called FTW, Also Comes with cooling backplate), (£260 Inc.vat+del)
2.. BFG 1GB GTX285 OCX (£260 Inc.vat+del)
3.. ZOTAC 1GB GTX285 AMP! (£230 Inc.vat+del)
not waiting for gtx300 series as i live in the now and present
Im Heavily influenced by the cool looking EVGA with red stripe and cooling plate....ive only ever had sli 8800gt from evga and had no problems at all but that was 2 year ago and a lot can happen in 2 years as to standards ...so are evga still very High on their Quality Control?? compared to the other 2 or should i just go with the chapest brand as all overclocks are around the same numbers?
kind regards,
Rhino.
