brands that make this card ,I see them range from 100.00--200.00 $,what are
the differences between these cards,and what is a good brand? Thanks

Easy. BFG. Best warranty. Worth the extra cost over other card
manufacturers.

Looks like they only have that one with a pci express bus.

Kinda depends on whether you want a quiet PC or can tolerate some fan noise.

I bought a BFG for the warranty but there is some fan noise. A couple
of other brands might not offer as god a warranty as BFG, but do offer
cards that have fanless heatsink solutions.

The chipsets are basically all the same with some manufacturers offering
more memory or mild degrees of overclocking. But in reality they're all
the same.

They.
All.
Suck.

Drop the few extra bucks and get a 7900GS. XFX makes some really nice ones,
for $150 or so online, and they kick the high holy hell out of the 7600GT.

I'd also avoid the new cut rate 8X00 DX10 cards. They, too, suck. The GTS
one is barely passable, and even it gets it's ass beat on several games.

I have a BFG 7600 GTOC. It was $160 plus a $30 debate. BFG's
warranties are veyr good.

Actually the 8800 GTX is the fastest card on the planet. 2nd. is the 8800
GTS.

Please note:

"avoid the new cut rate"

8800 is not new. It is not cut rate.

8500. 8600.

New. Cut rate.

You're seriously suggesting that a 7900GS will outperform an 8800GTS or GTX?
My EVGA 7800GTX is faster than it is on every test. An 8800 series card is
above and beyond the 7900GS.

No they mean the newest none 8800 cards all the 8800 are much faster than a
79xx. Problem with the newest card is too few pipelines. You may find this
reading helpful. http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/426/

Card still have not been tested for DX10 power but have a feeling 8600's
will do very bad with as few pipelines as nvidia gave these new chips. The
8600 GS cards are only 15% faster than a none over clocked 7600 GT. My 7600
GT comes came with a huge overclock and is same speed so that is not good
since DX10 will need lots of horsepower.
