Best Brand for GTX 260?

[shyheim]

Hey, decided to go with the GTX 260 216. Whats the best/your fav. brand for this card (or any card I suppose).

EVGA, XFX, BFG

Does Sapphire make a card?

I would personally choose EVGA or XFX. XFX provides you with double lifetime warranty which means when you sell it or if you break it twice, your buyer has a lifetime warranty or you could receive a new one again after breaking it twice... EVGA makes very trustworthy GPUs and above all they have a "step up" program which allows you, within three months of purchasing an EVGA GTX260, to upgrade to a new EVGA gpu by paying the difference in the prices.

Oh now way. So I could get a 275 three months down the road? Or possibly a DX 11 card?

Sapphire only makes ATI cards

EVGA/XFX

I hear BFG is good but i had bad experience with them.

EVGA is the best in my opinion anything wrong they take care of you.

XFX has the best customer service, warranty, and policies of any GPU distributor, but EVGA offers that nice step-up program.

 

[uncfan_2563]

but the step program doesnt apply to all cards. Its kinda a marketing myth, thats what i remember thinking when i looked at the list at least. I think it's on their site

I've dealt with both XFX and EVGA tech support/customer service. XFX wins by a mile.

Yep, XFX's customer support is very good.
