This isnt productive. He didnt ask your opinion about the company, but rather the cards. Dont need to spread venom where its not asked. Find a anti-EVGA thread and do it there.

Lol jumper..why are you being such an *** in every thread I read today? This one, the computer falling one..and some Razer one..

You are just full of hate. Also, you are ignorant. But thats none of my business.

I've never had an issue with EVGA, their customer support is pretty good.

Most people don't have issues with EVGA, hate threads tend to change opinions of people who have never dealt with EVGA themselves.

Anyway, to the OP, as others have said, get the stock 285 and OC it yourself.

I was indeed referring to the 285, sorry for not including that. Thanks to all for the advise. I was leaning towards the ftw but now the standard. Thanks for saving me $$$!!!

DO NOT get the 2gb version of anything, there is no performance increase between it and the 1gb version. It is a complete waste of money. If anything, get the 1gb FTW edition and blow the vanilla 2gb out of the water!
