Which Geforce FX to go for?

Hey guys, I'm about to pre-order my Geforce FX but I'm not sure what brand to go for. my current Card is a Geforce 3 (standard not Ti version) deluxe by asus. I'm very happy with the Asus specs and the bundle they give with the card, plus the quality of both the drivers and the utilities.

however I've noticed that MSI, Leadtek and other companies like gainward also have good reviews. I was just wondering what you guys think.

Oh and please I don't want anyone replying with (F**K Geforce FX get a radeon) cos after working in a System builders I know exactly how buggy ATI drivers are so no way am I EVER going to ati.

Go for leadtek man, they are definitely the best.
The best cooling by far, and the perfomance is excellent.
I have a GF4600 from leadtek, Performs flawless and excellent.
And lord Don C. has the GF 4200 edition of leadtek. His works
great too.

Ok laterz

BTW don't get another brand because you possibly can't get
leadtek where you live. Go for leadtek, if i took me 3 months to
get 2000 miles away. I think you can get it too.

I recommend MSI

the MSI is probably best, they're a great board/card manufacturer. Asus has a running tradition of fast and stable products, but lately some of those products seem to have problems early in their life.

I'm personally going to wait for the NV35

Just noticed on Abits website - Siluro FX 5800, but no sign of the FX 5800 Ultra special edition. No info on availabity etc.

www.abit.com.tw/abitweb/webjsp/english/pt_main_back.jsp?pPRODUCT_TYPE=Video+Card&pMODEL_NAME=Siluro+FX5800+DOTH

Also i have emailed a number of UK Leadtek stockists/suppliers to ask for avalability and price on FX cards - will post when i get some answers.
