I have three choices...
evga 8800gt (regular speeds) + hr-03 gt for $305
OR
galaxy 8800gts (MIR, regular speeds) $300
OR
Leadtek 8800gts (MIR) $300 (I'm not sure how loud the stock fan is on the 8800gts...)
Thanks for any advice. ^_^

If that's one of the G92-based 8800GTS 512MB cards, get that. Avoid the outdated 8800GTS 320MB/640MB, which are generally inferior to the 8800GT.mher6 wrote:Leadtek 8800gts (MIR) $300

Yeah whoops, edited the post and forgot to fix that. Is Leadtek a trustworthy brand? I could also get an evga 8800gts (G92) for $320HueyCobra wrote:Um, I count three choicesmher6 wrote:I have two choices...

If you have the money to spend, the G92 8800GTS is mildly faster than the 8800 GT. Its core speed, memory speed, stream processors, and shader clock are all ~8% higher/faster than the 8800GT 512MB.
You might want to check heatsink compatibilities for this one. Stock ain't going to be quiet.
The 8800GT with the HR-03 GT looks like the quietest you have listed. Honestly I don't think you are going to see much of a difference.
One easy method to check how much a company backs their products is by checking warranties. On graphics cards, EVGA offers a lifetime warranty and Leadtek offers 3 years.

According to [H] Enthusiast, the 9600GT will be ranked below the (possibly apocryphal) 8800GS, which is itself ranked below the 8800GT.mher6 wrote:With the 9600 GT just around the corner, I might just wait.
