Question Getting a Ti4400, but from which company?

any suggestions of which company has the best ti4400? or if they're all about the same?

i've been looking at visiontek's, and i like the software they put in with it.. i can get it for $500 cdn.. but i found an asus ti4400 for $450cdn.. is the asus any better/worse?
any companies i should stay away from altogether, any recommendations?

(im new to nvidia cards, i've been stuck with an ati p0s for almost 2 years)

ive just got the LEADTEKGF4Ti4400 128MB DDR AGP VO DVI today and first impressions are that its great.one slight downside is the excessive noise that comes from the twin fans but i guess i`ll get used to that i`ll just pump up the volume to drown it out!

check these reviews out:

I'd recommend either Leadtek or Gainward, both make exceptional cards, often higher than the original specs.

Whatever you choose you cant go wrong with them.

www.techzone.com

www.nvnews.net

have good reviews of both cards.

Thumbs up

the leadtek ti4400 has two fans on it and a word of warning its pretty noisy,other than that i love it and u can easily overclock it to the default settings of the ti4600.
