XFX or?

WolfSoul · 07-14-2009, 06:14 AM

Ok been upgrading my comp gradually.. now Im allmost there and planning to buy a GTX 285.. begin next month
Been looking at the site of my regular shop
He's got Asus, MSI, Gigabyte.. no BFG or EVA
However, he's got a XFX Black Edition (well if noone else buys it by that time)
Im kinda hoping to get that one.. so is XFX ok or not.. or whichever brand is alright?

XFX Black Edition is excellent...I have one myself (GTX 260 Black Edition)

WolfSoul · 07-14-2009, 12:06 PM

I might be missing out on that BE.. meh
Anyway.. I don't wanna pick Asus I think
There's still also Gigabyte.. PNY.. MSI and that's it

for Nvidia cards I prefer XFX, BFG or EVGA...all the cards are pretty much the same anyway, only difference being some are overclocked more or have after market cooling

GIGABYTE - Product - Graphics Accelerator - Overview - GV-N285UD-1GH

Prolly going to be this one...
Think the XFX BE won't be available and that one's bout same price and same package however not OCed.. and dunno if I like the chic on the card-cover but oh well

I can vouch for XFX too. My 6800 Ultra was amazing.

I just went down memory lane and dug up the thread I started after I got my XFX 6800 Ultra. Those were the days.
