looking to spend under $200

I am partial to BFG and EVGA for the lifetime warranties. One thing to look for is clock speeds and memory speeds, even though they are all the same chip doesn't mean they are performance equals.

Go with the cheapest one, the best warranty or the one with the best software bundle. Everything else about the cards is the same.

I'm Partial to EVGA.....The diff over BFG/XFX is being able to change to aftermarket cooling without voidding your warranty

would this be a better card to get for my rig and rez of 1680x1950 vs the 8800gt 8800gts 9600gt or to much card lol at only $180


MSI RX3870-T2D512E OC Radeon HD 3870 512MB 256-bit GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card

im not sure what res you were trying to type out... unless your screen is flipped 90 degrees - even then its not a res i've ever seen.

the 3870 is not a bad card either, but it really depends on your budget. if the price difference is too high, its not really worth it as performance is not that much more than a 9600gt

however, as i am checking right now, it is cheap - 160$ after mail in rebate. msi 3870

the EVGA is only 10$ cheaper after rebate EVGA 9600GT

however, MSI does not offer the same lifetime warranty, so it really depends on that. personally i dont really care about warranties because it is rare for a video card to die out as long as somebody cleans out the fans once in a while.
