ECS or Zotac 8800GTS G92?

Which Company's 8800GTS G92 512mb video card is better? I am ordering two of one of theses video cards from newegg by the end of the month. Any ideas which one is better (in terms of performance, drivers, reliability, tech support, etc.)? I am running Windows XP Pro 32bit, and Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit.


The Zotac:

The ECS:

As seen, the ECS is about $20 less, but that price difference does not really matter if the Zotac is better.


Any Ideas?





Oh and Temperature REALLY MATTERS, my case is small and runs quite hot...

Well, I'd recommend BFG or eVGA. A great portion of the people i know use these brands, they say they're the best.





If your choice is limited to ECS and Zotac, I'd choose Zotac (don't really fancy ECS much)

I would also recommend BFG, EVGA, or XFX, but if you've narrowed it down to these two, the Zotac is about 1% faster. Only difference is the memory clock speed, 1900 MHz vs 1940 MHz, but the core clock speed and other specs are identical. It may also run a little hotter because of that.





The performance is so very similar and you won't notice any performance difference with your eyes, but you'll save $30 buying two ECS cards. These are big cards and you mentioned you have a small case, so be sure to measure and check that they will fit if you haven't done so already. I'd recommend the ECS. With $30 in my pocket I could buy a better mouse, additional cooling fan, or a new game.

edit: sorry, noticed you're using dollar signs - so please ignore.

Reputable brand is always a high priority for me.
