My leadtek agp overclocked from 500/900 to 580/1200 and returned a 3d mark 2005 score of 3810. It wipes the floor with my old 9800pro flashed to xt

I would go with PNY out of those 3. i've heard of a lot of rmas with leadtek and xfx. You should look for a BFG or a Gainward.

System Specs

Leadtek's apparently have good coolers.

I've been quite happy with my evga card, it's nearly identical to the reference design, and evga's customer support rocks if you ever need to use it.

I think everyone has heard at least one bad thing about each and every brand in the market. Yesterday I heard from a guy how he hated AMD because thier processors were so bad.

Go with the brand you think gives you the best value for your money given the specs and bundle etc.

And just because I have to be against pr0digal: My Leadtek 6800GT rocks my boat every day!

I got a Leadtek WinFast A6600GT TDH AGP last week and it is awesome. The card itself looks pretty ordinary but the performance is terrific and the fan is very quiet. I am extremely happy with my purchase (upgrade from a 2-year old 9700 Pro which had died from overheating).

I had thought about getting XFX but learned that it has two DVI ports instead of one plus a D-Sub. The latter suits my dual monitor setup perfectly (21" CRT and 17" LCD). I have no idea what a PNY is - the only other option available to me was a Gigabyte but since my last graphics card was from them and it failed on me, I decided to go with an experienced graphics card manufacturer this time.

Newegg has a great deal on XFX 6600 GT cards right now 160 with rebate.

http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16814150080

I paid over 200 for mine. Even at 180 its a good deal.

The rebate ends on the 25 so hurry
