7900GT, but which one?

[Shay Ken]

I'm looking for the best price/quality ratio and I decided not to go with any fancy stock overclocked stuff, just because they seem to have some trouble and ofcourse they're more expensive.

choices:
Asus EN7900GT
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121003

Sparkle(anybody has some experience with this company?) 7900GT
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=13846

maybe this one can count too:
Club3d 7900GT
http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_5352.html

ps. I'll buy it from a dutch store, prices are max. 1 euro difference, the club3d one isn't available yet, so I'll only really take that if has something really special.

TIA

Supposedly, the only difference in the cards are the BIOS installed and what cooler they put on them. Made in the same factory....


Get whatever is cheapest and has good warranty....

well my input is just buy an actual name brand, EVGA and BFG are very good starts, you can get the standard eVGA 7900GT for $260 on newegg, you can get the premium "KO edition" for $260 (same price) as well, might as well do that

just look at the price, thanks for the help, but I gave 3 specific cards for a reason.

And what was the reason?

 

[Shay Ken]

to not have something suggested that is way out of my price range(since the prices are different here), these are the choices I have, everything else is 30-100 euro's more

Any one of them would likely be fine..Like others said, go with whatever is cheaper and/or has a better warranty.. And be mindful of their customer support as well! Personally I would only go w/ eVGA, BFG, XFX, with eVGA in tops due to their support (only one readily replacing cards and admitting fault atm) so far - but alas, you seem to have a reasonable enough reason why you can't go that route. Although, don't kid yourself, while there's less problems with reference speed cards from the likes of MSI/etc, they ALL have problems even bone stock ones.

And re: Sparkle - you may know them better in the PSU world as part of FSP (Fortron).

BFG or EVGA.

I'll probably go with the Asus one, 3 year warranty
