id say xfx. i just bought a 5830. they are sooo much better. plus the warranty isnt voided if you remove the heat sink i believe.

XFX. Lifetime warranty that is not voided by overclocking and watercooling == epic win.

I guess I'm the only one that prefers Gigabyte.

XFX

I also like Sapphire for some strange reason. :/

I went with an XFX for my 5850, and when I get a 6870 eventually it will be an XFX as well, only because I've heard great things and the lifetime warranty. Gigabyte and some others only have a 3yr warranty IIRC :think:

Gigabyte isn't bad. But I noticed (on three Gigabyte cards) that they must be binned or something because they totally blow for overclocking. I have two of these three cards; 400/400MHz and 405/400MHz and that's it.

I had decided my next card would be straight AMD ATI ... but now it looks like XFX is a better choice.

I was thinking about trying SLI for a change; getting really sick of Catalyst.

I'm rocking XFX

Zero complaints, and it oc'd really high without a hiccup
