    XFX, eVGA, Gainward, Inno3D, etc. All seems to be stable and churned out similar performance. :think:

    but is much more expensive, my wallet would be blank out if get the XFX one.
    I found a winfast 7800GT, cost about 1000++only, is it ok?

    Well, you can go cheaper...with different manufacturer's the price always varies...personally I wouldn't because i've had issues with cheaper graphics card, ie...not so well known brand name. XFX, BFG, or eVGA would all be highly recommended in my book.

    It's ok, just the warrantee part you'll have to keep in mind.

    Like me, I bought XpertVision, this is the 2nd time I get it in for RMA (thanks Chai :) ) in last 3 months. It died for the 2nd time after one week back from RMA. :faint:

    Winfast = Leadtek = fairly cheap but should be pretty good :thumb:

    Oh, how much are they in Malaysia? :think:

    There's not too much difference here. About 20-30 USD which is still worth every penny... :thumb:

    there is about 100-200 ringgit malaysia different, and this is quite a big range different.
    i didn't require much, i just want my card can run smoothly on FEAR, Age of Empire 3, NFS Most Wanted.
    in fact, i am planning to allocate some budget to invest on RAM site.

    I still say its kinda worth it. I mean it is 7800GTX performance on a GT... :D

    Yeah, we have given 7900GT an Editor's Choice award for the same reason, it's a damn good card, not even the king 7900GTX got that award, and you know how strict I am when giving out awards (if you didn't, now you know :D )

    xfx, evga, bfg are my top pick. xfx is probably the best card and best warranty.
