I was looking online and noticed that BFG has 2 different Geforce 6800 GT OC.

The Geforce 6800 GT OC I have looks like this:

However, I was looking online and there is another BFG Geforce 6800 GT OC that looks like this:

What's the difference??? They're both BFG Geforce 6800 GT 256MB OC. ??????? :confused: :confused:
 
the only difference i believe is that one of the cards comes with dual DVI outputs and the other one comes with one DVI and one analog
 
They went with the top, and I believe worse hsf design after the initial release of the 6800's. I remember hearing that the refrence cooler (bottom) was better. I could be wrong though.
 
I have the top one (blue PCB and two fans). And yes, I can attest that the cooling on the top one is terrible. I broke down and slapped a nv5 silencer on it and made it all better.
 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the one on the bottom that's currently being sold? That's what I saw at my local microcenter.

Uh, no. The only difference is that the second one uses the reference cooler, while the first uses a special cooler and different color pcb. They are identical otherwise.

the top one is what I usually see for AGP models. The newest PCIe models have an entirely different cooler.
 
all they are is different coolers. the top is BFG's own designed hsf, the bottom is the stock/reference cooler. theres really no difference between them imo. i had BFG's hsf on my old card and i got the same temps as the ppl with the stock/reference coolers.
 
I have the card on the top, I never had any problems with cooling, but then again I don't have that HSF on the card anymore. I've seen a couple BFG cards with yet another heatsink that resembles the one ATI uses on the X800Pro and the one Asus use's on thier 6800 series cards.
