ASUS or XFX?

[Yangia]

alright, I'm about to purchase a Geforce 6800 Ultra and which I should buy, I've heard great things about both but I havent beenable to decide. also, on a side note, how are the drivers on the 6800 ultra? havent heard anything bad about them yet, but I havent been reading around too much

Neither... Asus and XFX seem way overpriced at the moment. Get the BFG 6800 Ultra if you can. Best customer service and lifetime warranty.

And you mean how are the Nvidia drivers right?

I bought the XFX model for one reason:Notice the ASUS model got 2 POWER CONNECTOR require to plug it.I dont like that, im scared it will overheat or something.

Ohhh and XFX model come with DOOM 3 FREE!

Didnt want BFG for 1 reason:Lots of people around here have problem with it.Read the board youll understand

yeah, I dident want to get the BFG for the same reason, I've heard horrible things about it from just about everyone that owns it, everyone that upgraded to ASUS or another brand name was much happier with their card

My XFX 6800GT from Buy.com ($340 shipped on sale) came clocked with 900mhz mem. Dunno why it came that way , so I just bumped it up to 1ghz and it is stable. I have even pushed it to 1120mhz and have no problems. Currently, I am running it @ 400/1120 with no problems- stable card.
63C core 45C ambient temps under load.

Did anyone get the XFX 6800GT from buy.com that comes with Doom III? Is it the Dual DVI version?

Exactly , neither. Get Gainward 2400 (6800gt) GS wich under warranty WILL work at 400/1100 (ultra speeds) and a bit beyond that a bit (i work mine at 420/1150). And of course its cheaper than any ultra card
