Thanks.

I wish, looks like I just missed out on next day delivery by minutes . Mine should be with me 2morrow. Don't be shy who got delivery today, what cooler was attached is it the standard reference design or the dual fan one were seeing on the pcw site ?

Have the BFG's been overclocking better than the PNY's? If so I may return my PNY and order teh BFG, especially if they have that groovy dual-fan cooler... it certainly can't harm an overclock. And are BFG's warranty and tech support far better than PNY's too? I know little of Nvidia manufacturers to be honest.

Mine arrived today, haven't had a chance to install it yet though.

It does have the standard cooler and fairly small bundle, only the basics are included. But BFG have got a lifetime warranty which is a bounus.

Is that box picture the inside box? the pcw site states "Package Type Retail" so I'd be expecting a retail box. Not that it matters really, just good for selling on.

Thats the outside box, BFG only seem to have a proper retail box for cards sold on shop shelves.

Just did a quick run of 3DMark03 and 2001 on the following system, everything is at stock speeds.

Athlon 64 3800
Asus A8V
1GB Corsair XMS3200LL
Samsung 80GB HD
BFG 6800GT OC

3D Mark 2001 SE 23623 :- http://www.dukgamers.com/images/6800gt/3mark2001se.gif

The fan on the 6800GT also isn't very loud at all, I can't hear it over the stock Athlon 64 cooler which is fairly quiet anyway.

Show us those overclocks

Just installed mine, and all i can say is ouch this cards fast. Amazed to see Farcry maxed out and running smoooooth. This card is no louder than my old 9700 pro, once you get the forceware drivers installed .Temps are 58c and 70c under load about 1hr gaming. That seems about right considering its jammed in a heavily kitted Shuttle. More later.

Maybe I'm being blind, but who is selling the BFG cards?

PCW Component Center :-

[megakid]

That's a single slot cooler - correct?

(IE will it fit in my shuttle )

[Duk]

It is a single slot cooler so should be able to fit in a Shuttle.

[Huddy]

Fits in my Shuttle fine

[Mugato]

These things much louder than a 9800 pro??
