There isn't one basicly, you just need to look through any extras that are provided, and if the card is overclocked or not (and by how much), and if there is an aftermarket cooler on it.

It's not that simple with GFX cards, it depends on what model, spec and budget you want/have amongst other things.

Personally I've always liked Sapphire cards because they have, at least for me, been reliable.
But sadly, as the others have said, it's not that simple... A friend of mine absolutely swears on EVGA.

The best thing to do is decide on a chipset (e.g. ATI 4870) and then look at the different "versions" released by various companies.
