I have gone with Sapphire and ATI in teh past and been happy, but I went with Visiontek this time around. The MASS EFFECT bundle is ridiculous to me now...lol. I own MASS EFFECT, now I am getting 2 extra copies. I have 3 MASS EFFECTs, 2 GRAWs, 2 Dark Messiahs, 2 Half Life 2s.....lol

Just look at the box and the card. It reads MASS EFFECT on it. Plus the store I got mine from said it comes with it.

It depends on how much you want to spend and also what you want. Do you just want the card and the drivers? do you want the packages that supply a free game etc. It depends what you want really. Do look at reviews though.

Sadly people have gotten the card and it wasnt in it. It just says it can "run mass effect". It dosent come with the game.

I have heard Sapphire was good, but I have never bought their products, Same with EVGA (I dislike XFX, bad experience) for Nvidia.

I had two of visiontek's cards in the past. Geforce 2 TI. Their fans didnt last and fried the cards.

i have the visiontek, but it idles at 80C! im not sure if its the same case for each visiontek card. maybe do a search on which card runs cool? however they have figured out how to increase the fan speed to cool it down a bit if you do get the visiontek.
