What 6800 GT?

[Nirotu]

Right now im currently looking for a nw 6800 GT to replace my 6600 GT. There are a lot of good manufacturers out there but i just can't decide. I've heard the eVGA one has gotten good reviews, an so has some BFGs. But i want to know what kind you guys would suggest. I'm looking for one that is/isn't OCed as long as it's cheaper, and if it isn't OCed, it can be if i choose to do so. Thanks in advance.

get the bfg 6800gt you can get it on ebay for really cheap probably 250-300$ range as many people are selling theres.

ill put in a good word for leadtek, very high quality cards, maybes not the best overclockers, but solidly engineered pieces they are. and where im from at least they seem to be cheaper than other manufacturers such as BFG, ASUS, Gainward etc.

id try stay away from the likes of PNY, possibly XFX? though im not too sure, last i heard XFX suppport was pretty naff, but judging by recent products they seem to be on the up. after all they do provide some of the Fastest 7800GTX available now

Leadtek. That big heatsink guarantees you an overclock to Ultra speeds.

Leadtek is really good quality...but, that big heatsink might not appeal to you

Get either a Leadtek(I have one and its really good),eVGA or BFG....any of these manufactors produce quality cards

I can only speak from EXPERIENCE for eVGA and MSI cards (which both rock) but BFG seems to have a good rep... Leadtek hasn't always had a good rep, but lately not hearing anything bad.

eVGA, XFX, and BFG have lifetime warranty... something to consider.

The other brands I don't know about the warranties.

Thanks a bunch for the replies everyone. Haven't decided yet, but Leadtek looks promising.

eVGA Covers OCing in warranty, if thats not guaranteed ultra speeds...

I have an eVGA 6800GT that guaruntees Ultra speeds all stock. It's also for sale.

seriously check ebay its extremely secure just look at seller ratings you can get a 6800gt really cheap if not bfg then proably around 200-250$ for any other company.
