First off, Tiger Direct is a horrible etailer and if possible avoid it at all costs!

Some of the GeForce 8800GTS brands that are good include BFG Technology, eVGA, and ASUS.

Asus, BFG, EVGA, Leadtek, XFX. Don't waste your time with the rest. The differences between them are mostly in stock clockspeeds and some have a different HSF (perhaps one brand has a quieter one than the others).

Michael: I'm surprised by that comment. Is there something we need to know about TigerDirect? A few weeks from now I was going to buy many items I needed from that website...

As the prices for the 8800 GTS 512 MB are much cheaper compared to germany do you send it to germany too?

[winkowski]

We could by shipping UPS wolrdwide, but it would cost too much. There is a Tiger Direct in England I believe that would be better for you.

[Kano]

There are UK and germary to select, but these are misco and the price is much higher. When you compare the price in € then you pay about 220€ in US and >300€ everywhere else. That's really annoying.
