    !HELP! ScanFx , XFX , whats with the X's?

    Desperate to buy a graphics card but there are so many different brands out there with the same GPU. Could someone help me?

    I want a card with a 6800GT GPU, it seems to be in my budget. I would have loved to go for the ultra but its a bit too pricy for me. Below you can find the list.

    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...Thumbnails=yes

    Could someone recommend a decent card for me from that lists. I was going to go for the XFX 256mb 6800GT(http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=136443) but its out of stock, and I cant find anything about ScanFX on the web. Will the brand names have that much of an impact on the performance, or would I be okay just going with a ScanFX (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=148973) card?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Do you need AGP or PCI-E? My gainward is a nice card, but its not on that page, otherwise id say XFX, but you might wanna wait a while till they get the whole free shipping offer sorted.

    Hi Herulach,

    I was needing an AGP card and I dont mind paying for the shipping as im badly needing a good GFX card.

    In that case id go with the XFX, the free shipping should litterally be a couple of days though

    It depends. Do you need dual DVI? If so get the xfx. If not get the scan as it would give you poopy games with it.
    Not around too often!
