We'll I have two choices on my next build.
#1. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150252 (XFX PVT88PYDF4 GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3) #2. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130082 (EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 ) Now I understand that the XFX card has more memory 512 vs. 320 (EVGA). But the last XFX card I had 7900GT didnt last but 5 months. So the price differential isnt very much however that is the price range I am wanting to stay in. Also, other suggestions for cards or even comments toward these cards are greatly appreciated. Thanks again guys 512

8800GT of course. Crazy that in January, that same card was like $300.
Here's a better comparison. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150252 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130318 You honestly can't lose with either. Both companies have great warranties.

You could also consider the EVGA 8800GT. For ten bucks more than the XFX you get best of both worlds! You get a card with higher core clock and more memory AND it's a EVGA!

Depends on how much money you want to spend, but the 8800GT is a better card.
