Which 6800GT?

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

Jose
