i'm going to say built by ati. those 3dlabs cards look very very interesting. I have never seen one in action but I bet they are top notch. I'm not an nvidia person but I have heard some good reviews on bfg cards.

I'm gonna have to say BFG, I've had 3 cards from them and they're awesome

Quality-wise, I've had good experiences with Abit products. (Both for mobos and vid cards.) -- Paul

 

[blitzkrieg1110]

abits mobos are the best but i wouldnt know about their vid cards

Id say that ATI makes the best ATI cards.

As for Nvidia how can you go wrong with Gainward. I have 3 of their cards, and they are all super. Not to mention all the RED

 

[macklin01]

Didn't Gainward cards have trouble with the "pink screen of death" for awhile? -- Paul

Only on 1 card. The ti4200. They took care of them all though.

 

[mattspalace]

For Nvidia I'd go with BFG (best warranty) or Gainward (seem to make very oc'able cards)

For ATI I'd say BBATI and Sapphire.

 

[Eclypsyr]

I'm a fan of MSI for video cards and Abit for mobos

the only reason i ask is kuz i wanted to get a nVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra Video Card or 2 nVIDIA GeForce 6800 non ultra Video Card to update my gaming comp and its a lil more then im used to spending, so i wanted a good card

 

[macklin01]

It's definitely a good thing to check out. Also, thanks for the info on Gainward, {PMS}fishy. -- Paul

My MSI card has been very good to me.

 

[Zfire]

i like geforce cards, i had one ati card that was decent for its time but i like nvidia more.

 

[teddy-2 john]

i have pny nvida and asus m/b 5900,mx440

 

[alinosa]

i vote gainward. the only problem i ever had with a gainward was a ti4400 that wouldn't post. (and this one time i shore some components off of a ti4400 and for some reason it didn't work any more..hmm)
