eVGA cards any good?

[PentiumPunk]

I'm about to buy a new video card...(a nVidia one) and i'm looking at the
companies that make them such as PNY, BFG, MSI, LEADTEK, eVGA, CHAINTECH,
etc.... eVGA cards seem to be remarkably cheaper. I was wondering if anyone
has had any experience with them. Or as a matter of fact, any of these
cards. I have a BGF Asylum Geforce FX 5200 Ultra right now, and kinda wanna
get me a FX 5900 (non ultra). I found a eVGA one for 205.00$ and thought
that was a pretty good deal, but are they cheap? thanks! ~Brooks~

I had an eVGA card at one point. As far as working, it was fine. It wasn't
remarkably capable (no extra features or anything) and not quite as fast as
cards in the same class, but it's worked for 4 years so far without any
compatibility problems, or right out failure

Do they still have the Brew Pub, in the Holiday Inn, down the street from
RIT? I miss that place!

don't know for sure but chances are, yes

I've had overheating problems with one eVGA card, but it doesn't have a fan
and only a small heatsink.

You need to check that place out. Their hotwings were cheap, and good!
Also, there was a sports bar called Jox. Forget where it was. Think it was
east of RIT. But, they had 10 cent hotwings every Wednesday.
