Hey guys!

Which Geforce 6800 should I go for,the BFG Geforce 6800 OC 128MB DDR or the MSI Geforce 6800 128MB DDR?(or is there any other good brand) Both are non gt and non ultra versions. I know that I should wait for the 6600GT but the problem is I cannot wait because the AGP version of the GFX 6600GT will be out in november(correct me if I'm wrong) and thats too long. I selected this card because it is a little bit better than the 6600gt and is AGP. Graphic cards in India cost a lot, a GFX 6600gt when it will hit the market will cost upto $350 here in India. So many of us Indian's ask our relatives who go there to bring us a card. My aunt is going there and she told me that she's going to bring one for me. She'll be there only for a few days so I made up my mind for a geforce 6800. I'm a casual gamer and the GT and ultra versions are too expensive for me so I did'nt go for them. So what do you think guys,which one should I choose?
 
I chose in the end to get the Chaintech 6800, it's clocked a little higher than the rest, and uses 2.2ns memory. I may be ignorant though, and the other brands might use 2.2ns memory for me. I basically chose the Chaintech because it was guaranteed at the highest stock speeds. Just my opinion.

Chaintech higher than 350mhz stock?
 
I have a BFG 6800 OC, its great. Comes with Far Cry, OCes out of the box, nice copper cooler (though MSI has one too), and I actually OCed it pretty nicely too. Btw,when u call BFG, they actually pick up their phones!
