My gf said she'd buy me a new vid card, but she wants to stay in the 200.00 price range..

Any suggestions?

6600GT seems like an awful nice card in that range....

The Outpost BFG card is a 'Call for Availability'. I called on Friday and they said they were getting a restock truck today, so if you want it, you should call no later than Wednesday. Great deal on that card, but if it isnt available there, get a 6600GT and enjoy that.

i wouldnt buy from a guy on this forum. when they sell something the most likely reason is that they overclocked the crap out of it and werent happy with the cards potential :p

No. CompUSA only supplies PNY cards, and the BFG 6800OC at Best Buy is 300 bucks.

Shopped around, the cheapest 6800 of any kind I could find was the Apollo 6800LE for 258 at GameVE, and the cheapest BFG 6800OC I could find was 269 at Maincomp.com

BFG.com is selling their cards for $300 with a $40 rebate for sending them after purchase ANY working video card. If the card sent in is a BFG/Asylum they will rebate you $60. Its a good bit more to pay, but I know I can get a BFG 6800OC even after the usual online stock has dried up.

Lifetime warranty and a card slightly faster than a stock 6800 .... me likey !
