What is the best brand of graphics cards. I want to get a 8800GTX but not sure which to get.

Its out of either:

XFX - lifetime warrenty, don't know whats bundled with it?
BFG - lifetime warrenty, BFG tee-shirt and stickers
Leadtech - 2 year warrenty, don't know whats budled with it?
Gainward - lifetime warrenty, don't know whats bundled with it?

Any bad things about these companys would good to know lol. I have had a XFX graphics card before, but I have had no problems so I don't know what their returns service is like...
 
all my cards have been xfx and ive nver had a problem with any of them, there customer service isnt supposed to be all that good if i were you i would have a look at the EVGA which might be a bit more expensive but there customer service is top notch.
 
EVGA, BFG, Leadtek, Gainward, Point Of View, Inno3D etc. are all good brands.

However I would avoid XFX like the plague, their customer service is disreputable to say the least.

Edit: I would also avoid Asus, their RMA service is dire from what I've heard.

what is the OCUK brand like? im looking into getting a 8800GTS and the OCUK one is the cheapest should i get it or the BFG one?
 
I like BFG's lifetime warranty as the place you RMA to is in Wales afaik, EVGA requires you to RMA back to the US but apparently they have a UK based location now. I would avoid XFX as their customer support's reputation is quite poor.

OCUK are good solid units if you intend to stay at stock speeds.

I think eVGA ask you to RMA to Germany now, the same place you send cards for step ups.

Gift.
