Is XFX a good make, reliable?
Anyone had any experience with them?
Is it a good buy?
Comments greatly appreciated.
Looks reasonable, it has a higher memory and core clock than
some of the AGP 7600GT,

Overall it's more similar than different compared to other
brands, a couple of areas that differ are that it doesn't
have the more squirrel-cage-like fan, which may actually be
a positive thing as those are louder due to higher RPM, and
it appears to use lower quality capacitors (but not
necessarily a problem, I dont' recognize them as any "bad"
brand and the card doesn't use a lot of power relatively
speaking).
I can't say it's a good or bad buy since I don't know the
current video card market in the UK but it should be about
as reliable as the next brand for better and worse. I mean
it probably has a short(er) lived fan like most of them do,
it may need replaced in a couple years (Or relubed before it
chews up the bearing if that's a sleeve bearing fan).
