grrrrr...6800GT 256MB PCI-Ex brands
So I'm all set to buy a Leadtek (Winfast) 6800GT 256MB PCI-Ex. - but my
comp. store has none in stock. Who knows when they'll get more in. Anywho, any other trusted brands out there you all could recommend? Or brands to steer clear of? The other card they have that is around the same price as the Leadtek is the MSI. I have pretty much no knowledge about MSI - are they good? Trustworthy? Pros and Cons about their cards? Any help is much appreciated. |

All cards are pretty much OK. That's what I came to realise in my (misplaced) desperation last night! At the end of the day, they're made to nVidia's minimum specs so they're going to do the job. Hell, I currently have an 'HSI' 9600XT!! I've never heard of this brand - and the card is still running fine, no real problems. Thanks though! -- Conor -You wanted an argument?

ouch!
I wonder if that is the OC version like I have. Overclocked out of the box. Worth *some* money more but not $200!!! -- Scott Swain "Dragoncarer" wrote in message ... "Scotter" wrote in message ...

They've also got the Gigabyte model for AUD675, the Leadtek for AUD565 and the MSI for AUD570. Oh look, and now the BFG one isn't there at all...maybe I was dreaming it or something. Or it was from a different site. Whatever. It was too expensive, I know that for sure . "Dragoncarer" wrote in message ... "Scotter" wrote in message ... BFG has been very good for me last two cards.

I bet this chaos is due to having a bunch of those high end cards still on
the market but now also the 7800GTX's hitting... So some stores have dropped the price of their 6800 series but others have not yet. -- Scott Swain "Dragoncarer" wrote in message ...

I've been extremely pleased with all my MSI components. I think if you do enough web browsing, you'll find MSI has a very good reputation. They are good about putting out driver updates, and their components are well made. I'm running MSI K8N neo4 Platinum SLI motherboard with MSI 6600GT PCI-e graphics card. Both are well made and my system runs great. The card even came with about 10 games in the bundle. They also have an application you can run which will scan their website for the latest driver and firmware updates, which makes keeping your system up to date a snap.
