hey all,
with the sage advice of y'all, i've fixed on getting an 8800 gts, but i'm dithering a bit as to which one.
the two i'm mainly considering are the msi and the xfx, both get good reviews on newegg and the msi is cheaper, but more of the reviews for the xfx mention relatively low temp and more of the msi reviews mention higher temp. i've currently got an xfx 7600 gt and i like xfx in general, never had an msi card.
basically, does the xfx version actually provide lower temp and higher reliability? oh, the msi card is their OC version (can't find a non oc version) so it does have higher stats.
thoughts? better brand i missed? (looked at the evga had the worst reviews of all 3 on newegg)
