ATI graphics card: which retail brands are best?

Hi.

I want to buy an ATI-based graphics card and would like some guidance on which retail brands to consider.

I have seen some produced by Asus, Sapphire and Connect3d.

Are all these good brands?

Can you suggest any more that I should look at?

Thanks for your advice.

cheers!

I would either stick to the ATI or Sapphire brands.  ATI brand usually has the least problems with drivers and such b/c they are making their own cards.  Sapphire cards are made by ATI, plus they are cheaper the the ATI version.  ASUS cards are over priced.  You can get a better and faster ATI brand card then the ASUS cards for cheaper.
You did not have ATI listed, but unlike Nvidia they do make their own cards.
Also what card(s) are you looking at?  

For the price, to get the best out of your buck.  The 9800 pro version is very good for the price.  I also think that the 9600XT is very good for the price.

Hi again.

The card I am thinking of is the "ATI RADEON X600". It's a PCI Express model.

Is the price/performance for this card good?

What do you think?

cheers!
