GeForce question

[2bzy4ne1]

Which maker of geforce video cards are the best? from my standpoint, they all look the same but i know there are some companies that make better geforces than others. can anyone clarify me on this subject?

Guillemot makes the most feature rich, stable, and all around best graphics cards. They are the undisputed leader. They are also the undisputed most fricken expensive. Be ready to pay 3 to 10 time the cost of most cards of the same type.

Some times there are customizations, sometimes they come with different packaged software.

I just checked their website, it doesnt look like they make Nvidia anymore. Only Radeon.

Come to think of it, many of nvidia's partners have left or died. Elsa, Guillemot, Visiontek... All I can find locally are PNY boards.

I like Gainward cards.

 

[2bzy4ne1]

you're right allnatural. but i also see visiontek boards as well as pny boards in stores.

hey slougi, can you get gainward boards in stores or are they only available online?

what about Microstar incorporation (MSI)?

MSI is working good for me, I own one and I don't have problems with it

At least here in Finland you can. I think in the US you have to order online.

i also need to ask another question. Which of these makers make the best cards for overclocking?

My gf2 was from PNY and it doesn't overclock too high. So when I get another card, I can take it to the max.

 

[Slougi]

The gainward golden sample cards oc very well, they are made with high speed mem and the better cores.

ah... nice. I actually found some gainwards in the stores here in the US. Not that much but hey, its a start. Just a bunch of gf4 mx440's though
