bfg is factory overclocked and has a lifetime warranty. that's why their cards are so attractive

whats best to overclock myself (and is under $200) im open for all suggestions (if u got a freakin x300 that runs better then 6600gt tell me =D)

So you want PCI -E? I still would save the extra cash and buy like a x800 or something from ati.. My friend has a 9800Pro and it runs about the same as the 6600.

oooooo im likin the second one =D, is that heatsink on it as good as those nv silencers?

MaTtsPc · 25-February-05, 09:51 PM

IM sure it compares to it.. It looks good.. I use to have a 9800Pro U it came with the zalman heatsink but with a diff name on it

I would spend the extra 10 bucks and go with the 2nd one.

Thats just me though. Ive ran ATI and Nvidia ATI smokes man..

Matt

Edocsil · 25-February-05, 10:01 PM

hmmm, whouldnt it be smarter to go with first one and then get the nv silencer seprate? for me:
first one=215 with tax/shipping
second one=231 with tax/shipping
16 bucks to work with, only gonna be like 4-10 bucks more and the first is 256mb

MaTtsPc · 25-February-05, 10:11 PM

go with the first and pick of a Ac or grab a Zalman Vf 700. The zalman is a lil pricey though.

Matt

Edocsil · 25-February-05, 10:16 PM

k i guess ill go with that, *hangs head about sli*...ehhh i dnt got money for that anyway =|
