Buying a video card today! Leadtek 6800GT vs BFG

[PVD]

Help guys!!!!! Ordering a new vid card for my system today. Here is the 2 companies

1. BFG 6800GT- $400- OC out of box, good warranty
2. Leadtek 6800GT- $385 - GOOD heatsink allows for great OC'ing???


I am leaning towards the Leadtek b/c of the awesome heatsink. ANy ideas or experience?? I want to OC this to Ultra speeds

They booth should overclock to Ultra speeds. The question is will they overclock beyong 400/1100?

Can you post your maximum stable overclocking results (with stock leadtek cooling) because I am thinking of buying the leadtek card myself.

Also if you get the silencer can you post those too so we can all see if there is a benefit to it?

I belive thermalrock was kidding about the silencer.

The heatsink on the leadtec beats an ati silencer any day.

And if he does choose to put a silencer on there then he made the wrong choice to go with leadtec (selling point is the heatsink).
