Whats with all these different Brands of Geforce 4 Ti4600? Which one should I get?

Prices vary, does quality vary?

each card has a different set up, cooling and the same clock speeds. each card use different types of memory and they colors are different

i prefer Gainward (overclocks well). some like PNY, MSI, Chaintech, etc.

What is really important is the cooling methods (which are usually perfectly fine) and the memory speeds in ns, which is written on the chip. When you're looking at them, try to get the fastest possible memory. Look for lower ns ratings. The speed may also be listed in mhz. Faster mhz is better I know when they first started coming out, VisionTek (I loved their cards) was equipping them with 2.8ns memory instead of the 3.0ns chips. The difference - at 3.0ns, the memory runs at the rated 325mhz DDR (or 650mhz), while at 2.8ns the card is clocked the same, it should be an easy overclock to 357mhz DDR (or 714mhz) since the memory is already rated to run at those speeds.

I like PNY just cause every type of Nvidia card ive had has been by PNY. I just got use to buying from them.

Look at the cooling on the Leadtek---thats a clue to a proven high performer...
