Which BFG 6800 nu to buy?

[big4x4]

Well, I was at best buy and they had 2 versions of the bfg 6800 oc. One had all purple capacitors (no a60 sticker) and the other one had both green and purple capacitors (a60 sticker). Which one would give me a better chance of unlocking......?.......or does it really matter? Thank you

So your trying to buy the best card to be able to void the warranty

Well, you can look at it like that :brokenheart:

I see it more as free performance

in previous thread those with A60 had a very good chance at unlocking...mine did ...16p,6vp...mine overclocks pretty good( alittle less on Neo2 plat)..365/870 and I turned the fans way down and stays cool

I did here the all purple one may also unlock..too but Iwould get the A60

I was wrong..A60 bad

check in a circle=good

I have also heard the EXACT opposite of that. I don't know who to believe now

just pic, whats the diff? Both have a chance of being unlocked, and both don't. Just pick, you'll win either way, the 6800NU is a nice card.

sorry I think I am wrong...it was a circle with a checkmark...thats what my card had..blue circle with white check or blue circle with white check...and the A60 sticker was noty good thing...sorry...

I did read the all purple capacitors were unlocking

search for the Bestbuy ...BFG6800OC and HL2 deal around end of Nov...in hot deals

ive had 2 6800nu's only one was able to unlock and it currently the one i ahve now, wamperz....o well. i didnt notice any stickers or any difference on them but maybe there is a difference. the diff between the 2 cards is the hs/f the dual fan has blue led's on them but is pretty loud
