    The manufacture may vary on the ScanFX cards.

    What about the ones you have in stock now for 'Today only'. Are they XFX?

    Yep there's no reason for them not to be - ScanFX are just major brand cards in OEM form.

    Dear Koolpc.

    I think you'll find that, while Scan are the most helpful people on Planet Earth, they are not entirely able to unpack the whole warehouse, to check the brand of a single vid card for you, dearest chap. When they buy a large bulk bundle of cards, it maybe that the brand would not be entirely the same throughout. They do sell quite a lot of stock in a day.

    However
    If they DID do that for you, I sense (and correct me if I'm wrong) that you'd then ask Lee to maybe install it in his own rig, to test it's overclocking potential, after all, he'd already have the card in his hands, and you are a potential client.

    Then, and I may be waxing lyrical here, but I feel you may finally make a choice, but asking for a discount on the card that arrived, as someone had opened it and used it already and even overclocked it.

    Scan Mod...you may delete this if you feel it is correct to do so, and I shant be grumpy

    the 7900gt seems much better choice, they are faster than 7800gtx and run cooler, I might go for that, but thats me
