The BFG one. They are of better build quality, have a better overall warranty, better customer service (24/7), and a quieter fan over the eVGA one.

On top of being a better company, the BFG is also OC'ed right out of the box. You do know you need a new mobo to support a 7800, right?

Maybe you didn't see he mentioned that already because his posts looks like this??

Starting June 22nd (or was that July 22nd...i forget) of this year, all eVGA video cards will come with a lifetime warranty. Even when they had a 1yr. warranty, their warranty service was really good. Two of my friends needed their cards RMA'ed and they had their new cards in less than a week after contacting eVGA (their cards died after serious OCing under extreme heat).

Not only that, the eVGA card is higher clocked and comes with BF2, whereas the BFG card is lower clocked and doesn't come with BF2. That alone would make me buy the 7800GT made by eVGA. On top of that, the eVGA card is cheaper!

The eVGA looks like the winner there due to the higher clockspeeds.
