Which 6800GT?

[Mojo027]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm buying a 6800GT locally in the next few days. The retailer I'm dealing with has the following offers...

Leadtek 6800GT AGP $539
Chaintech 6800GT Apogee AGP $550
MSI 6800GT AGP $560
Aopen 6800GT AGP $555

Right now I'm thinking Leadtek, but I wanted some feedback, what do you guys think?

PS: All the prices are in CANADIAN dollars, so please refrain from posting something along the lines of... "Those prices are OUTRAGEOUS!!! Go buy a eVGA from Newegg for $390" or whatever immediately comes to mind. It's always interesting to see who actually reads the entire post before replying, hahaha.

Out of that list, i'd pick the leadtek for sure. Nice heatsink, and lots of people stand by them.

Leadtek. Best quality.

BFG great warranty and oc'd out of box

I may be partial but I prefer MSI. I had a MSI GeForce Ti4400 AGP 4x (275/550) and I managed to get it to 330/315. Not too shabby, I must say.

The leadtek is nice, quiet and has a 3 year warrnty.

It's funny that you complain about people not reading your post. Two folks have now tried to recommend BFG despite the fact that it's not even in your list. I'm not a fan of BFG myself, what good is a lifetime warranty if you ever plan on ocing? And even if the warranty does matter to you, I think Leadtek's 3 years will last longer than you have the card. Go with that.

Those prices are OUTRAGEOUS!!! Go buy an eVGA from Newegg for $380.




I'd go for the Leadtek. It's the cheapest and is considered to be very good quality.

I got teh evga <--- very happy so far, 4759 -5marks at stock with 3200 winnie.

 

[impemonk]

Go for the keadtek!

Does newegg ship to canada? If they do, then that evga would be like 470. I would buy a leadtek though. That heatsink is awsome!

I would go for the Leadtek, not only is the price good, but it has a huge copper heatsink and the fan is supposed to be quieter than most others. I have the MSI myself. The software/games it includes is decent, but not great and I like the fan which can be put on a super loud turbo mode that is great for overclocking. however, on the normal setting I'm getting a high pitched whine coming from it.

I have the Leadtek and am very happy with it. Solid card oc/nicely
Great heatsink and fan. Sold

BFG or eVGA, both have very good warranty.. And w/ eVGA you get tech support from a person that you can actually understand..
