Well, I'm in a dilemma.
I am willing to drop the $500 or so on a Radeon X800 XT... but should I go for the ATI brand, or for the other manufacturer's cards. I know the ASUS would be the best made card, but it also is more expensive than the Built by ATI. Sapphire makes a good card, but it also is more expensive. There is, at ebay, a Gigabyte X800 XT for $475 - but I don't know anything about the quality of a Gigabyte card. If I buy from ATI, there's a wait because it is "Currently out-of-stock."
Any suggestions? Should I bite the bullet and buy an ASUS for nearly $100 more, go for the Sapphire or the Gigabyte for $25 less?
Any suggestions?
 
all the cards performs the same unless factiry overclocks them a bit.. but they are all teh and asus does not make the best card... they just imo have the best bundles etc.. thats why the extra price.. and the gigabyte one on ebay is 475... 25 more and u get a brand new never been used one! and the sapphire ones are nice but just get one with the best bundle excluding asus because they are very pricey and IMO the bundles aren't worth it for the extra 100$..
 
The one on Ebay is a new card being sold by an auctioner, not some guy selling off his old card. Thanks for the input.
