Which Brand to go for an nVidia 6800 Ultra

[Mari0Br0s]

Hi guys, I would like to get an nVidia 6800 Ultra, but would like to known which one would you recommend to me??

I need a PCI-Express video card.

I known that XFX & BFG has overclocked card, that explain the price, but, I don't need that, unless there's a super deal out there!

MSI (MAKE SURE IT'S THE COPPER HEATSINK VERSION)!!!!

If you can't locate one, get the normal MSI or GigaByte.

 

[Mari0Br0s]

that's good to known, i didn't known there was a copper heatsink version.

 

[ssvegeta1010]

eVGA, BFG, and MSI are all good.

 

[Mari0Br0s]

any bench result, any reviews to compare them ??

Pick the cheapest brand on the subheading of this thread.

 

[Mari0Br0s]

You mean, I won't see much difference between them ?

 

[johnnq]

look at the software bundles. some don't come with doom 3 which u might want to play...

EVGA was the cheapest on the egg last time i checked.

Good cards

EVGA....mines working perfectly and i was able to overclock it to 460 as well !!

 

[Mari0Br0s]

Yeah that's right John, I didn't think about that.

BFG, lifetime warranty. Need i say more?

Different brands have nothing to do with graphics processing ability.

Go with the LeadTek -- had good experience using three different generations of LeadTek GeForce cards.

doesn't matter on what you get - they all are the same cards and will bench around the same (every gpu i the world is a bit different). its the support, warranties and games that make the diference

I'll get a BFG GeForce 6800 Ultra OC PCI-e 256MB, the 512MB is too much expensive!

lol obviously...who would pay $1000 for something that would just give u 5fps at max at full details cranked...better to get a 6800GT SLI or even a 6800U SLI setup

 

[Mari0Br0s]

hehe you red my mind!

 

[imported_Kensai]

MSI copper version or BFG.

 

[MDE]

BFG. Can't beat their lifetime warranty with a stick or any other similar object.

I have a BFG now, but i liked the Leadtek i had before better.

Leadtek, then BFG, then eVGA IMO.

 

[VIAN]

GOOD:
ASUS, BFG, eVGA, Leadtek

OK:
MSI

BAD:
XFX, PNY

Oh yeah, why?

Hey guys, I do have a question about BFG, if I change the cooler on it for a more silencer one, does the lifetime warranty is void ?
