well if you want to go with a 6800 GT I recommend th xfx, because they are good overclockers, you will be able to get ultra speeds out of it. Personally I'd Get the x800 xl. I'm an ATI fan :P

The XFX 6800GT is a great card, and as said above the card is easily OC'ed to Ultra speeds :thumbup: :thumbup:

I really enjoy ASUS products, they have fan monitors and are also easyly to overclock. Ofcourse u can get from every producer a card, which u can't overclock, but yeah, its random.

Buy the Asus one or wait 3 month for the new generation of nVidia and ATI.

BTW nVidia's card possibly will have 32 pipes too :smartass:

I have the XFX Ultra version and it's excellent 435Mhz/1.25Ghz :thumbup:

I know of people that have achieved this, with a GT :thumbup:

im then going for either the ASUS or the XFX. the XFX is around 10-20 € more expensive, so....

Im running a PNY 6800gt with a "GS" BIOS flash. The card runs 420/1200 perfectly fine all day.
