Does Hercules make the best XTs?

People will say that the manufacturer doesn't matter, but it does matter!

If you are gonna spend on an XT, then at least research the different models.

This is what I heard:

That the Hercules is the best, and then the second best is Sapphire.

The Asus is the least reliable, as usual. That goes without saying.

Asus is the Hyundai of gfx cards. Hercules is the Bentley.
 
For the 9800's I agree but all the XT's all have the same heat-sink and fan except for the ASUS and each companies sticker. How are the XT's different from each other then when nothing apparent but the sticker is different? I also thought Sapphire made the XT's for most of the other guys.
 
Sapphire makes them for ATi and a few other OEMs. Hercules doesn't chance the reference design for once, which is pretty strance (IIRC).

Herc's are good quality, but they are not known for overclocking or for tweaking, but for ultra stability and "cool" factor now.
