Im after a 8800GTS, but there is a £40 difference between some models, take these for example.

640MB Palit 8800GTS PCI-E (x16), Mem 1600 MHz, GPU 500 MHz, 96 Streams, 2 x Dual Link DVI HDTV - £293

640MB Leadtek 8800GTS PCI-E (x16), Mem 1600 MHz, GPU 500 MHz, 96 Streams, 2 x Dual Link DVI HDTV - £327

640MB Gigabyte 8800GTS PCI-E (x16), Mem 500 MHz, GPU 1600 MHz, 96 Streams, 2 x Dual Link DVI-I HDTV - £327

640MB Gainward 8800GTS Bliss, PCI-E (x16), Mem 1600 MHz, GPU 500 MHz, 96 Streams, Dual DVI HDTV - £338

640MB BFG Technology 8800GTS PCI-E (x16), Mem 1600 MHz, GPU 500 MHz, 96 Streams, 2 x Dual Link DVI-I - £299

640MB Asus 8800GTS PCI-E (x16), Mem 1600 MHz, GPU 500 MHz, 96 Streams, 2 x Dual Link DVI-I HDTV - £328

...

Now to me they all look the same but would any out perform the other? (I dont intend to overclock the card). Obviously the Palit looks the most appealing due to the price but ive hardly heard of this make of card.

Thx, JD

I think the bit extra for a BFG would be better as Id rather spend that bit extra to cover myself with a better warranty if something goes wrong. It is a lot of money to be playing around with. :)
