Nvidia Graphics cards Differences??

[Vlad Drac]

Hi all

I'm thinking of getting myself a new GTX285 and I'm just wondering what everyone thinks is the most reliable make, BFG, XFX, Evga and so on.

I know there is no difference between the reference speed GPU cards but what about the factory overclocked cards?

Are there any preferred choices?

The general understanding is that its best to pay the extra money and stump up for a 295 card, as this is the card that will last you for a very long time, especially when paired with an i7, like mine will be in the next few months, as like you I dont like ATI either, whether that makes me a fanboy I dont really know

It's not that I dont like ATI cards. My last 3 cards have all been ATI.

The thing is, I would rather run a single GPU card and the GTX285 seems to be the fastest on the market.

If you want the best performance, then its probably best to go for the 295 version, then you will get better performance than anything else can even touch

The card uses 2 GPU's, which means power Consumption and a lot more heat.
Plus imo there hasn't really been a good dual GPU card worth the money.
