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

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.

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..

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

Its a ATI bro... Thats all i can say.. They all overclock good.. Use ATI TOOL for overclocking and anything else for that matter .. you can do anything with it its awesome.. you can change the timmings on the ram, make the stock fan run 100% all the time or make it for what you like.. Anything you can think of with video this little program has it..
