PALiT is probably the best for overclockers cause they use non reference PCB designs and good coolers. Second best would be Zotac for the same reason, but idk about the coolers. I like BFG alot too cause there support is great.

I vote XFX cos Zalman coolers are very efficient an quiet. Which should lead to better temps aka good overclockers :p

What is the length of Asus's manufacture warranty? Both EVGA and XFX has lifetime, where as XFX warranty can be transferred.

I recommend the XFX model with the black Zalman cooler. The ASUS card with Glaciator Fansink is great too.

zalman s design on this one is not up to the mark.....if all the fins were connected to the core instead of hanging on two heat pipes it would be good.....

I wouldnt pay too much attention to Neweggs reviews.
(of the 3 XFX , but the best 8800GT card is the ECS Passive, Silent/cooler:rockout:)

if your nice you can get a new fan kit via ticket or you can purchase a $2 male to female adapter. people need to stop thinking it's the end of the world because they didn't get a pwm fan these cards with a Zalman cooler are $40 cheaper than a reference 8800GT.
