[QUOTE="shanelevy"][QUOTE="gamer082009"] [QUOTE="Thinker_145"][QUOTE="gamer082009"]I'd still recommend people to get the eVGA 8800GTS due to the step-up program and the Lifetime Warranty. Benchmarks still show the 8800GTS and 2900PRO neck-to-neck.gamer082009
What's that? Well eVGA has this new thing called the "step-up program,"which basically allows you to trade in any eVGA card andrecieve creditfor the EXACTamount you paid for it. But you only have 90 days to use the step-up program...so if you buy a eVGA-8800GTS you'll have 90 days to send it in to them for the amount you bought it for.. and choose a better card of your choice and you only have topay the difference. They also offer all eVGA card buyers a lifetime warranrty..which is what sets eVGA apart from the rest. All others offer a 1year warranty..(Edited: Stupid gamespot keeps linking all my words together)
Wrong BFG AND XFX have lifetime warranties on their cards. Why is it that people post things as if they are fact, when they really have no idea what they are talking about.
Ok I was not aware of those other two crappycard manufacturersoffering lifetimewarrantys, anyways eVGA still has the upper hand due to the step-up program!BFG and XFX are far from crappy. They are just as good as EVGA (if not better in some ways).
For EVGA's lifetime warranty you have to register within 30 days of purchase, BFG does not require this. With XFX you have to register within 30 days too, but you get a double-lifetime warranty.
While the step-up program is neat, if nothing better comes out within 90 days, there is no point in it. Also the step up program is only for one card, you can't step-up a step-up.
I consider XFX, BFG, and EVGA the top Nvidia card manufacturers, they are always my first choice. They all hav top rate customer support.
