just wondering.
between these two, which is better?
PNY – NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
vs
BFG – NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
but as far as performance they are all 100% identical (not including overclocked versions).
EVGA and XFX just have better warranties.

Actually some are slower than others. When I was shopping for my 8800gtx I noticed that most of the PNY and MSI cards had slower stock speeds.
Just buy an eVGA or XFX, they are full of win. eVGA also has a step-up program.

Just make sure they are running the correct clock speeds; places like newegg list core and memory speeds so its easy to check. but anyway lets stop debating; buy an xfx or evga unless you find some ridiculous deal on one of the others.
Go with the one I got

for $50 more you can get the 9800GTX KO which I think is a better deal but w/e. The 8800gt is still really good.
Or if you can withstand an ATI card the radeon 4850 is really good (typically on par or slightly better than the 9800gtx) and can be had at about $200.
All of a sudden the gfx card community has some great price/perf. offerings, including the new 9800gtx+ which is supposed to be released later this week.
Get the 9800GTX, it’s worth the extra $50.
Also just an FYI. I had to RMA an older BFG 6600 GT and their tech support at every level is 100% American. All emails were custom replied to in perfect English. When they got my card (according to UPS online tracking) they had a replacement shipped within an hour and I got the brand new card 2 days later.
Their cards may not be that good anymore but their RMA and tech support is full of win.
