I got the galaxy 8800gts 512mb of ram for only 250$ (well 325$-75$ rebate) and it's the best card for your buck now. The card can run Crysis on high at 30 fps. Downside= only 1 year of warranty, but still nice.
You should check ncix.ca, they have a nice sale on evga 8800gts 512mb at 300$ including Crysis and a lifetime warranty. They have some stores in BC or you can order from them. I know you hate that, but it's safe and they got a (slow) cheap shipping price of 5 or 6$

[QUOTE="Riki101"]also the evga comes with crysis (i dont have it) which is a 50 dollar value so really its a no brainer to get the evgamastershake575
yep if you don't already own it then it would be a better value also if its a no brainer then you really don't need to make a thread about it that didnt have to do with this thread, this thread was about
is this a good choice?(video card not company) is this a good time
not is the evga better choice then the bfg version
The EVGA step-up program only works for U.S.A residents, since you're Canadian, like me, it won't work and is therefore useless. TigerDirect has a store, many infact. I went there to purchase my computer parts. Maybe you should check it out, or just get EVGA, because Crysis is included.

ummm i seen one guy youtube video said he lived in canada, and steped up to a 8800gt i also checked evga's website they say they do free ground shipping to canada by fed-ex.... but broker fees and government fees are not covered...
Oh my bad, seems they updated the info on it. Then by all means go ahead and get the EVGA card. But be warned, you have 90-days after purchase to Step-up. Will you do it?

not is the evga better choice then the bfg version ive seen you on this board before you should already know the answers to those questions and when you say its a no brainer you mean i should buy it because its a good price not i should buy it because of the name so it looks to me like your mind is already made up if its a no brainer choice

I would recommend EVGA, even if you don't plan on using the step-up program. They have amazing customer service and a lifetime warranty that covers overclocking is amazing. The 8800gts 512 is very quite and an amazing overclocker too. That said I got mine about two weeks ago and there was only a $20 price difference between the EVGA 8800gt and the EVGA 8800gts 512mb so it made my choice easy.
What's the word on the 9600GT 512 in comparison to the 8800GT or the 3870? I haven't read much about it but it looks pretty dirt cheap. jazztrumpet5
The 9600GT is a mid-range card meant to replace the 8600gt, where as the 8800gt is a higher end card. The 8800gt is still quite a bit better in performance but the 9600gt is a big improvment over the 8600gt. The 3870 gives very similar performance as the 9600 with the 9600 having a slight edge. Basically if you don't have enough money for the 8800gt then the 9600gt might be your best choice.
