Elsa 6800gt

[Sam334]

Anyone have experience with this manufacturer?

Thinking of upgrading from my Radeon 9600 to this:

Just wondering if Elsa was any good. Heard good things about BFG and Leadtek, but nothing about Elsa...

Thanks in advance for any input

Elsa used to one of the more prominent manufacturers some years ago. I have an Elsa Geforce 3 in an older computer that has always worked flawlessly and overclocks great too. I don't know much about what they're like now.

I still have an elsa geforce3 I just recently went from that to a 7800GT in my new rig. Think I will notice a difference? LOL

ELSA was awesome. Their Gladiac line of the original GeForce was considered to be neck and neck with Gainward for the best crafted cards out there.

I'm saddened that they stepped mostly out of the US market.

Go for it.

It's a shame that you don't have PCIe. For $10 more you could pick up that 3dFuzion 7800GT.

Im not sure if I can recommend 6800gt for $270. Kind of expensive

Theres a guy in the fs/t forum selling bfg 6800GT's for $250. Thats not bad. Might be able to get him down a bit more as well.

Elsa = PNY now. They were in financial trouble and PNY picked them up for a song along with NVIDIA partner status.
