Hi,

I recently found a 7900GS on newegg for a good price, but its by foxconn who i have never heard before. Is this card ok, or should i pay more for a better brand?

Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814186013

Thanks

Dont expect any support from foxconn, their the worst. and if you do buy it you should probably re do the thermal paste between the heatsink and gpu.

You're better off with a eVGA card,or even a XFX,BFG and maybe even MSI.

It's good, go for it.

Foxconn usually makes the products for popular manufacturers anyways, particularly eVGA.

That 7900GS is nicely overclocked, it'll outperform a stock X1950Pro.

Spending the extra cash for a half decent brand is worth it IMO.

Foxconn makes the products for those "decent" brands you are talking of.

Foxconn makes almost all nVidia cards and theyrebranded and sold as eVGA, XFX, etc. So yeah, there's nothing wrong with Foxconn.

lol, There's nothing wrong with Leadtek buddy, only ignorant people not knowing what they're talking about. Also, Foxconn is a great company as well.
