Hi,
I'm in the market for a new graphics card. I decided I wanted a GeForce6 6800GT AGP and I liked the look of the leadtek offering (I've also owned other leadtek cards and been more than happy with them in the past).
However, when I went to their website to check out the specifications more carefully it turns out that Leadtek offer two versions of their 6800GT
One is the proper nVidia specification

and one has cutdown memory clocks (450/900 effective instead of 500/1000 effective)

I emailed my parts supplier as to which version of the card he stocked and he is unsure because (according to him)
Does anybody know anything more about this? If true it is very dodgy and I certainly would not expect such behavior from the likes of leadtek.
Perhaps the specific model is mentioned near the serial number & barcoding on the box?

The box makes no mention of clock speeds - how would you tell - what are we to look out for?
