I already got both cards. For ATI i say buy BBA or Saphire, and for Nvidia i'd say anyone really, but i specifically like Evga. As for overclocking i wouldn't use the manufactuers tools, use Coolbits, it's specifically built for oc'ing nvidia cards in the Nvidia control panel.

DO NOT BUY SAPPHIRE. They are the most deplorable manufacturer of computer goods i have ever seen. I do not know of a single person who has not had trouble with a sapphire ATI card. Go for a big make, not a huge ram chunk. If you're looking for Nvidia, get Gainward cards. They're excellent for the overclock. And their tools are pretty damn good for overclocking, though they won't let you do any of the advanced tweaking an app like aTuner will let you do.
Yes, i'd say a review of the X800 is needed, but don't forget to include the things that matter to the majority. The cost, power consumption, and size. What socket it takes etc. Then, compare in games that people really play. UT2k4, Halo, NFS:U are all good examples.
I picked: Honestly i care the same about an in house review as i care about migrating geese.
and i care about migrating geese.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. Here in the USA they are the most recommended brand to buy to flash your X800 Pro to a an XT. Seriously Auron my god do they suck that bad over in Europe? The cards you get can't be different than ours... maybe different manufactuering plant but still. Hell do you know how cool saphire is lol? They sponsor our lan party!!! I don't know anyone who has had a problem with them.....
:bowdown: yes grandpa auron... i think i know how to do a review lol :kor:
EDIT
:htard: Ermmmm no... and i know for a fact!
EDIT 2
Oh yeah, and omg gainward are expensive here! although on there 6800GT they use the same 1.6ns mem as their ultra

They suck harder than a Dyson D06. That's the 8-cycloned model.
Everyone i've met with a sapphire had to down-clock their PC to get any degree of smooth behaviour, heck i had to do it with my sapphire. I mean, take a look at their tech support forums + staff. Almost non-existant....though they do pack their cards with a hell of a lot of stuff....
Yeah, Gainward are expensive here too, but when it comes to overclocking and performance, they're unbeatable.
Pthh gone are the days of voodoo 5's in SLI or even the matrox G400 what a card, used to suck the living daylights out of a computer system, to this day i havent played the game nockturnal remember that.
BK to the thred gainwind are £££ in price but you get what u pay for saphire aint that bad butback when theoverclockinstore was in buisness i had to send 1 back.

Let me rephrase that. We will not have any 512mb GAMING cards out this year. Of course there our 512mb workstation cards already out with double gpu's, but those suck for anything gaming related.
Geforce 7413 ultra extreme platinum edtion 512mb?
Radeon V100 to the 10th power hyper speed enhanced 512mb vc?
Not this year.
