hello i would like to buy a 7950GX2 but i dont know what is a better choice since my card died BFG 7800GT died :( . Main thing RMA's wich one is better? FPS rates wich is better? * if any any changes * how long is the warranty on them? * i know BFG as lifetime warranty *

This maybe a dumb post but i want the best for my money!
 
I have heard that both have excellent warranties. I know that XFX has a double lifetime warranty which means that you can sell the card sometime in the future and the warranty will transfer to the new owner.

I think with BFG, you can get away with OCing and still be covered under the warranty.
 
Neither BFG or XFX condone OCing, but do suppoert it. This from a guy who owns currently for both. I will say the XFX has higher stock speeds with the EE and XXX edition cards. Either way they will perform about equal. Both will have plenty of room for OCing, and so forth. They are the same card underneath the badge with diffrent clocks.......I say do the cheaper one.

Evga warranty allows overclocking and aftermarket cooling.

XFX and BFG doesn't for both
 
well i have both in my system right now and they get along just great. no problems with eithor one of them. as for warranty, i hope i never have to use it :) 2x 7800gt's
 
XFX doesnt condone for overclocking and actually talk about it and teach the noobs quickly on their installation cd. but breaking it due to overclocking it is where the warranty ends.

exxxxxxactly :cool:
 
EVGA is the best I must confest.

Excellent Customer Support
Supports Overclocking
Supports Swaping Heatsink and Fans
Lifetime Warranty
Step-up Program (value of old card is what you paid, you pay the difference for upgrade)

Id choose BFG over XFX though
 
Out of the two, I would say BFG but I just got an evga 7950 recently and love it.
 
if i had the choice now id go with EVGA. XFX has been alright but id wish i had gone another path :)

though the step up is good but they charge alot more than buying a new one :p
 
EVGA = back order so cant pick that one :(

Note i ordered the XFX it had a bit higher clock speed, hope its good

EDIT: i have loved BFG for a while but if their is something wrong * anything * i will return and get BFG.
 
Good choice on the XFX.. I love their cards. =) I'd say my top two favorite manufacturers are EVGA and XFX.. but BFG is also up there. As far as I'm concerned, they're all great. Of course everyone has their own personal horror story though. This is the internet after all. :eek:

How would a company know if you overclocked your video card?
 
eVGA does cover third-party heatsinks, but if you want to RMA it you have to put the original heatsink back on when you send it in.
 
Evga, then BFG. I've had an evga 7900gt, had to rma it (bad mem), didn't pay $.01 to get a new one. But, I moved on to a BFG 7900gtx and love it.

They dont! Only way to tell if it gets damaged by overclocking.

Even if it is damaged because of OC'ing, it has to be fairly obvious or extreme ie: volt mods, for them to know for sure.

well when you have the most defective run of 7900gt cards on the market you better have good customer support.

Haha. good point.

Still a great company though. eVGA is excellent. Great pricing on their cards too.
 
You can't go wrong with either card. I own evga's in my rig. No Problems. XFX makes a great card as well, plus you can't go wrong with that yummy warrenty.
