Get the XFX one.. Good warranty, good tech support and the alpha dog 'XXX' edition is faster than the EVGA 'Superclocked' one.
But you could always buy a stock one and clock it yourself.. But personally ide take the XFX one.
Thought the EVGA has the 'step-up' thing.. dont know if thats valid in europe?

I`d only say XFX cos I`m biased, but the guyz mention some good points too.
I doubt u`d be upset with either one tho tbh.

i am biased towards evga having had two of there cards in the past,but have heard a lot of good things about xfx.the other problem is that no-one seems to have any in stock at the moment.
whichever one i find in stock today will decide the issue,seeing as there seems to be a shortage of these cards everywhere

Off the top of my head from warehousing experience. Mondays and thurdays are big delivery days. Loosely based around peoples wanting to do **** all on fridays.
So best stock check times could be Monday/Thursday pms - but I have no doubt that like myself u`ll be checking everyday

I have seen the EVGA superclocked bundled with CRYSIS

i am checking every day but it would seem that a llot of places dont update too often
I just got my EVGA 8800GT Superclocked on Wed. I love it. It plays CoD4 flawlessly with everything turned up. Like they said before though I don't know that there is going to be much difference between companies. As far as them being in stock, I got mine from Newegg. They have an autonotify when one becomes avalible, they send you an email. I got the email, went to their site. Sure enough they had them in stock and I ordered it instantly. (I still checked everyday though) My Evga 8800GT came with Quake Wars. I haven't seen any other bundles.
Edit: Just remembered I set it up to auto notify me again because I want a second one for SLI. I got an email on Thurs. saying it was in. I haven't ordered another yet though. Just thought it help knowing they got stock in on thursday.

thats the one
so far I have not found a single etailer with any in stock,which is really annoying
Looks a good deal, considering Novatech's delivery is free (right now anyway) and they offer a free collection service, which, considering your in Leeds isn't that useful. However it's only 10 minutes from my home proper
EDIT: Says they get them in stock the day Crysis is released, so could be a contractual thingy with the games release..

I was hoping EVGA would release a ACS3 one, double slot like their other cards like that.
Dont like that cooler one bit. The sparkle one with dual cooling fans looks nice too though.
Will probably just go with the cheap EGVA one and add a 3rd party cooler. HR03 gt is too big so ill probably go with one of those metal heatsinks and zalman vf1000.
