POLL: Best 6600GT?

[spooons]

From what I have read so far, eVGA is the one to go with.

I used to be a big gainward supporter, but they are not easy to find and I would like to give other brands a chance.

What is YOUR favorite brand for vid cards, and what would you reccomend for a 6600GT? Who has the best balance of features/'in-the-box' extras/support/least problems/warrenty/performance?

MSI

evga or Bfg

LeadTek. Better cooling options and they throw in at least three good games. eVGA and BFG dont do that yet charge the same price...

On the 6600GT, Leadtek's cooling sucks.

MSI is the only one with a real copeer hs.

 

[spooons]

That is what I was noticing. Are there any complaints with MSI cards? I know they arent highly reccomended for the MB's, wonder if that is also true for their vid cards...

What makes Leadtek stand out from the others?

For the same amount of money you actually get more than just a 3d card.

I'd go with the EVGA 6600GT. Lifetime warranty (as of June 2005) so yah... good choice would be EVGA.

I would suggest going for BFG. It may not come with Games but it is usually the fastest out of the box. Also you can't beat a lifetime warrenty. I am very happy with my FX 5700. In my experience I would stay away form Leadtek. They have a nice software bundle, but atleast in their 6600 series they overheat like crazy. Leadtek's support sux, they won't help at all.

anand had a review where the leadtek hs was the best and the msi was the worst (it actually came off).

can't lose with evga.

EVGA-excellent warranty/step up program/etc. I also love my Leadtek but it's not a 6600GT so I can't comment on that.

 

[Fallengod]

BFG id say is best. Next is EVGA. The poll just proves my opinion is similar to most. BFG has lifetime warranty and is OC'd out of box. Not to mention great tech support. EVGA is good, but no lifetime warranty on their 6600 cards(only 6800GT+ carry lifetime). EVGA also has great tech support. Leadtek is also good. Stay away from msi, aopen, chaintech.

eVGA / BFG

 

[xeodragon]

I personally have a BFG, i'd go BFG or eVGA myself.

 

[epededom]

bfg, lifetime warrenty. but i think evga has one too.

 

[openwheelformula1]

Currently I must give the nod to Asus's new 6600GT Silencer.

I had two MSI 6600GTs in raid, the board itself was great, but the heatsink/fan was horrible.

 

[Avalon]

I love my eVGA and Leadtek cards.

 

[BlueD0T]

i own the eVGA and am very happy with it
