eVGA or BFG

[TheGeek]

I'm going to be buying 2 PCIe 6800GTs for an SLI setup. Which brand should I choose?

 

[The Green Bean]

BFG

 

[imported_Kensai]

BFG. 🙂

 

[TheGeek]

any other brands i should consider?

 

[leedog2007]

Whatever you get, don't get XFX, nothing but problems.

 

[Cheesetogo]

Leadtek, but they are more expensive. (450) Evga is 394 at newegg right now, how much is the bfg?

 

[imported_Noob]

BFG. Can't beat their tech support and customer service. EVGA is second best. And as Leedog said, don't get XFX.

Actually, NewEgg has the eVGA 6800GT on sale for $374. The BFG is $450 i think.

I'd take the EVGA, less money, just as good quality.

I agree. The 20mhz overclock is not remotly close to being worth 75 dollars, and sice your buying two 150.

[nick1985]

both are good, but if the EVGA's are cheaper, i would get those

 

[Acanthus]

Leadtek or BFG.

Edit: EVGA has a history of quality control problems back in the day, this doesnt say much about their current 6000 series cards.

In the 5000 series cards they used cheaper components in the cards that caused image quality issues and made the 2d and 3d look more washed out than more expensive brands side by side. I havent seen many comparisons and havent personally seen the difference side by side on the 6000 series (I no longer carry evga locally).

Thats AGP, and not SLI capable.

I can't speak for the PCI-E version of the BFG 6800GT OC, but my AGP verision is going back to Best Buy tonight because the flimsy fans on the GPU Heatsick cracked and, of course, you know what that lead to.

Go with BFG if you want killer tech support/warranty 😀
