EVGA Cards Any good?

[LiengLiengZA]

With my rig that I want to build is the EVGA cards any good?Regarding that some of them are superclocked?I'm looking at 9500gt,9800gt s/c,9800gt+ s/c.

They're good, I would steer clear of the 9500GT though.

EVGA is one of the top brands in my opinion. Stay away from the 9500GT though

And just so we're crystal clear - that's a 9500GT from any brand.

Agreed

I'd say evga is the best nvidia brand card you can get.

Oh and don't get a 9500GT.

They are great. They also have a 10 year local warranty. Would be better if the stepup program was available here.

and regarding 9800gt s/c and 9800+ s/c .I saw that clock speeds differ but not that much.but price difference is a little overboard.what would you reccomend?

 

[Ziym3]

go for the cheaper one..use evga precision & OC it to the 9800+ speeds!

 

[LiengLiengZA]

damn!it looks nice!but why is it that there is not a lot of people who buys EVGA cards?I see most go the branded route eg. ASUS,MSI etc....?

EVGA are the best Nvidia Card supplier, but they cost - I would look at Chaintech for good but cheap, Gigabyte are getting too pricy, I reckon XFX are probably your best buy...

 

[LiengLiengZA]

I can get 9800gt for around R2000. is it worth it?

 

[SirFooK'nG]

hell no - HD4890 is R2400, at 9800gt should be like R1400.

Hell an EVGA GTX 260 is around R2400.

 

[SirFooK'nG]

I'd take the HD4890 over the GTX 260 !
