Hi there,
I need a video card that will last me a couple of years. I've had my last one (nVidia Quadro 2) for about five years and it's still running great. However, with all the new games requiring 64mb, the time has come for me to upgrade.
Since the 6800GT has 16 pipes and uses PS 3.0 I think it's best best long-term card (Can't afford the Ultra). Now my question is which company makes the best 6800GT and where do you recommend I buy it? (Maybe you know where I could get one cheaper.)
I'm leaning towards the BFG because of the lifetime warranty and the small overclock. I've heard eVGA makes great cards too and I wouldn't mind trying to overclock the card myself. eVGA however only has a 1 year warranty.
So which would you, as experts, recommend?
Also, could anyone recommend a good overclocking program?
