Best 7950gt?

[Jsousa373]

Hey,
Just wondering what the best Nvidea 7950gt would be, b.c there are a bunch of them. If you want to reccomend another video card for around the same price feel free do so so =]
Thanks

They are usually practically the same - just with different brand names. However, I would go with either BFG, Leadtek, or XFX. They are the top three that spring to mind.

I would go with BFG Tech, eVGA, or XFX personally. Although, ASUS, MSI, Biostar, and Gigabyte also produce good products. I personally love the XFX having a metal "bar" that goes along the top of the card for more stability. The BFG cards are very solid cards as well, and eVGA has its step up program which is always nice if you wanted to jump to a G80 within 90 days. As long as its name brand, it should do you fine. Just make sure its got a lifetime warranty.

id say XFX being that i have a xfx card right now and i can tell its a good card it overclocks pretty well

From looking at them it seems this EVGA has the highest speeds.
