XFX 280 GTX or EVGA Geforce GTX 280???

I've heard that these are one of the best video cards out there for fast processing and gaming.Im pretty sure that im going with Nvidia so I was just wondering which one is better? how is their perfomance value? or suggestions?XFX 280 GTX or EVGA Geforce GTX 280???
wich ever is cheaper. they are both very reliable brands.or get the one with the highest clocks in it XFX 280 GTX or EVGA Geforce GTX 280???
check the clocks which is higher (if they're about the same price) , or get a gtx 260 216 core bfg ocx its as fast as the gtx 280 and quite cheaper
How powerful are these cards? umm like if running Crysis for example (thats how i measure power)
EVGA of course. Their customer service is the best compared to any other GPU brands. I'm not a fan of XFX.
Get a GTX260 216 core version. Then just overclock it and there you go,,,,you have a very cheap GTX280! :D
[QUOTE=''Kamekazi_69'']How powerful are these cards? umm like if running Crysis for example (thats how i measure power)[/QUOTE] The BFG Maxcore 216 core is like 2fps behind GTX 280 (stock) in almost every benchmark. It's basically a GTX 280 with a cheaper price tag.
good point elann and Daytona =] So all 3 cards we mentioned are capable of overpowering Crysis?

I've seen videos on youtube about these single cards running Crysis on Ultra high (a higher graphics setting through modding) and amazingly too. Is there a catch?

The youtube videos are usually run at a very low res or theres other things they do to make it look smooth.

[/QUOTE] So lets say I can Max out Crysis, have it run at Ultra high with a mod with this Card with no major problem?
I have the bfg ocx maxcore gtx 260, and it runs crysis on very high at 1920 x 1200 resolution just fine, like the other guy said there are times when the fps will drop into the 20's though.
To second that. how much WATT power do I need to run any of these cards?
