Agreed. It's one thing to pass on personal experience with a brand(s), but let's not gloss over the problems simply because we own it.

BTW, I've used Sapphire (9500 Pro) and they have my stamp of approval.

I reccomend BFG, with XFX a close second and eVGA a close third for nVidia.

ATI-go only with ATI. I have had no expirience with Saphire, but if One says they are good you can trust him!

EVGA Nvidia 6800 Ultra
The card rocks. I had to RMA the first. Later I found out all that was wrong was the bios needed to be updated. EVGA did not post it until a week or two later. I bought it directly from the manufacture. The RMA process was overnight delivery. I'm getting 5059 on Future Mark 05.
