The title says it all. I realized today that I had two 7900 GS's. One from PNY, and the other from BFG. Would anyone prefer a brand over the other, maybe for quality or durability?

From a quick bit of digging it seems BFG clock theirs harder than PNY resulting in BFG providing the slightly more powerful of the two.

They probably run a bit hotter and/or a bit louder in terms cooling, but they're probably slightly superior.

If you have two and link them in SLI, tho, who's counting? :mellow:

I think BFG's warranty is a better deal. Or was it XFX's warranty that was really good (double lifetime warranty).

I had a BFG 5200 FX (low-end card), and everything still works after 5 years. It's been in and out of computers for a while, and even collected dust on shelf.

How can you have a double lifetime warranty? :mellow: Still pretty rugged stuff there. It's nice when you get high quality stuff that just doesn't break no matter what you do to it. ;)

Thanks for the replies, I'm using the BFG now, just wondering if I should should switch, but I guess I'm in a good spot.
