Supposedly the XFX is the way to go because of faster memory. I believe this question has been asked before (or one similiar) please use the search function.

The AOpen's clock speed is 325Mhz, which is 25Mhz slowe than the other three cards' 350Mhz. Other than that, the other 3 seem identical. The eVGA one is cheapest, but I've had good experiences with MSI. Also the XFX supposedly has better ram from what I've heard.

I recently purchased the PNY Verto 6800GT and its clocked stable well above ultra speeds . 460/1.2, I picked it up for only 370 bucks on a site on froogle.

If speeds of ram and core don't make the decision for you..then always check out what comes with the card. Assuming you get the retail package, check out what games/utilites and cables come with it. This typically makes my mind up immediately.

I would say get the XFX, from the ones that ive looked at from XFX, they get awesome reviews. i dont think you could go wrong with either one though
