Quick Nvdia 6800gt question

**zulander** · 02-09-2005, 06:01 PM

Does anyone know if there is a "low power" version of the 6800gt? I was reading a review of one and it said it need 2 molex connectors, is this true for all manufactures of the 6800gti? Cheers

**BUFF** · 02-09-2005, 06:05 PM

No,, 6800GT needs 1 connector & 6800 Ultra needs 2.
(& I've had 5

)

Ah right cheers, any brand u (or anyone else) would reccomend?, bit wary of XFX but they seem to be the most commonly available. cheers

I would have said XFX

I'm very happy with mine OCd to Ultra out of box

I have a PNY one. Works great

I have XFX, was weary but works great. Got an Artic Cooling rev5 on it and now it beats ultra speeds

xfx are the best

Unless you count BFG of course

XFX's monster dog thing eats BFG's dogy logo thing what ever it is (you get the idea)

**krazy_olie** · 04-09-2005, 06:39 PM

Most people seem to like XFX. They get first pick of the chips apparently.

**madd_garde** · 05-09-2005, 01:05 PM

Its quite interresting, because if you ask on the american forums you will get most likely get one answer; that BFG rule. And most dont really have XFX (as apparently more an european/british product).

Been buying XFX since (/mumble mumble) FX5200 (/ahem)////

Never had a problem with them!

Another vote for the XFX 6800GT got mine clocked it when i first got it, went much higher than the ultra speeds and the temps didn't rise one bit, great cards, mines still going strong.

i had a bit of a problem with an xfx6800gt overheating on stock.
an arctic cooler sorted it though.

BFG has limited stockists in the EMEA market compared to the USA, they are very big over there.

XFX is very big in Europe and rightly so, quality cards and if you do ever get a problem one then they are very good to sort it out, and quickly too.

It comes down to personal preference and availability on this, BFG have limited EMEA outlets compared to XFX, I have had a BFG card in the past and 3 XFX ones, not had a problem with any of them...

Mine is a bfg and its good! Faster than ultra, even before i have fitted my artic cooler!
