eVGA or BFG

[Fistandantilis]

i just might get a 6800 but i read all sort of good stuff bout BFG (6800 oc 128)and eVGA (6800) what gives
is there a better of the two, price wise i think that they are about $30 $40 different.

my system

Athlon 2400
soyo dragon ultra
elcheapo ram (512)
2 40 gig drives
and a 350 watt power supply

there shouldnt b that much of a price difference, but BFG has a factory OC and a liftime warrenty. EVGA has great custumer service, u pick which is more important to u

both are good cards


can i ask what brand your PSU is though?

 

[MDE]

BFG
+
Lifetime warranty
24\7 toll free tech support
Overclocked out of the box

-
Loud heatsink fans (can be remedied somewhat with an older version of Gainward's Expertool)

eVGA

+
Quieter fan

-
Nowhere near the warranty BFG provides

Of course the warranty doesn't matter if you're overclocking the card so then just get the cheapest one.

its a duramax i think, do you think that it will do the job or do i need more juice

 

[nick1985]

duramax? sounds like a condom brand

get a REAL PSU (antec, enermax, fortron....)

generic PSU's are the worst thing to put in a computer
