I am getting a Point of View Geforce 8800GTS 320MB and I am wondering if it is a good choice.

XFX ran out of stock so I chose the Point of View 8800GTS 320MB.

Is it a good choices???

Well, they look to be legit.
Though they don't have too great of a warranty... http://www.pointofview.eu/

I would stick to BFG, XFX and EVGA.

They dont seem to be very good.

I was looking at a benchmark of six 7900gs gpu's from different manufacters and Point of View's 7900gs came in last in almost every single benchmark.

In first was BFG and second was EVGA. And the EVGA is only around 160$.

Heres the link

If this means anything, point of views 8800's are probably slower than the others.

Believe it or not, I actually saw a POV card before...It worked. Anyway, go with BFG, XFX, or eVGA. PNY and Asus are other good brands. eVGA has the 90 Step-up program, and XFX has their double lifetime warranty, which usually makes used XFX cards sell better on ebay...

Do you know how to read/comprehend benchmarks?
The reason they came in last in every single benchmark, along with the Inno3d card, is because they are at stock speeds, while the others are factory OCed.

The POV 8800GTX is factory clocked to 600/1900, which is only surpassed by the EVGA oc'ed cards and BFGs watercooled cards.

I've compared the Point Of View version to the XFX version. All I can say is the POV version has higher memory speed and RAMDAC compared to the XFX Version!!!!

POV RULEZZZ!!!
