Ok so I had a BFG 8800GT OC2 and the thing was completely unstable and I would constantly get red artifacts followed by a system crash (RMA'd twice), which through research i found to be memory defects and/or memory overheating. Sent it back to the BFG store and they are giving me store credit. Now my question is this. Out of these 3 cards what should i get......
BFG 8800 gts 512 OC
BFG 8800 gtx OC
BFG 8800 gtx OC2
I have a OCZ GameXstream 700w on the way for power. The max resolution I will use is 1600x1050, I prefer to set all settings on high (within reason), and I like AA and all that other stuff. Reliability is also important and I do not know if the issue I (along with many other people) had experienced is related to cards with the G92 core or just the 8800gt lacking sufficient memory cooling. With taxes coming money is not as much of an issue, but I will not be doing SLI.
