well I'm probably going to go for the eVGA version whether it be GT or regular...can go 399.99 for the GT or 288.00 for the regular...I'm just having a hard time paying 112 dollars more for something that will be replaced in a year and half to 2 years
maybe the 112 isn't that big of a deal? I DON'T KNOW...AHHHHHHH!!!!

Do the math...
$112 for 1.5 years is about 85 cents a day. Skip a pack of cookies or a cup of machine coffee every day or a Cheddar Potato Bake every 4 days and you funded your card upgrade. Or Skip the food and buy the cheaper card and in 1.5 years you can buy your new card. I used to recommend option 2 but since I almost died from a burst intestine this spring I am now recomending option 1. Life can turn out to be surprisingly and suddenly short. |

the BFG GT OC is the better buy @ the moment and albatron's ultra is also pretty good
tuffgong.. think that with the 112 dollars more it really will translate into a value of around $200-250 when you oc it to ultra levels and beyond...

well my eVGA 6800GT is packed and on it's way...I hounded zipzoomfly.com for the past week and when it came back in stock I gobbled one up...also get far cry for free which is pretty cool
I saw it back in stock one day bought one and the next day out of stock again! so I guess I got lucky |

Here we go:
I paid a little more (well about £100) than via my business contacts in the interest of getting this card quickly (at the weekend too)
