    Sorry for the double post.But posted this yesterday in the graphics section and only had one reply,thanks Dindatron.Here it goes again.
    Last week I ordered a MSI NX 7800GTX card after reading many great reviews of it.Yesterday the card arrived and when I opened the package there was a Club-3D GeForce 7800 GTX in the box.Can I have peoples opinion on this Club 3D card as Im struggling to find any reviews on it so it is leading me to think that this is a crap card or is there not much difference between the two.What are Club 3D products normally like.
    Since posting this I have emailed the company but havnt heard anything back yet.Just want to get some peoples views on this.thanks in advance.

    Club 3D products are usually a good bit cheaper than other brands, make sure you get what you ordered.

    In my experience, the particular brand of a video card makes no difference at all*. I guess they all adhere to nVidia/ATi's reference standards pretty well.

    * - except when a particular brand sells a card with the GPU or RAM overclocked.

    I think Balfa's onto something. I just bought a Sapphire X800GT after reading a review that the Club 3D and the Sapphire were essentially the same card but Club 3D had theirs over-clocked a wee bit more at time of shipping.

    I don't know if it makes a difference - maybe they're saving you the bother or maybe they're doing evil things to innocent cards. I was leaning twoards the Sapphire anyway - the existing card was a Sapphire and it gave me no problems. Not much help I know, but I don't think there's alot of difference.

    I don't know if I worded it clearly, but the important thing is to check that they charged you for a what you recieved rather than what you ordered. Was there a price difference?

    I read that as "had it in his machine and now its on fire" :D

    Thanks everyone for your help.I paid €440 for the MSI card but cannot find the Club 3D card on their site.I checked Komplett and the Club 3D card is going for €495.I've mailed them and am still waiting for a reply.If there is no real difference in quality I'll hang onto it,But I cannot find reviews of it anywhere which is a bit troubling.
