BMG or EVGA 6800 Ultra?

[canis44]

I am going to buy a 6800 ultra and have searched the many sights on the internet about this card. Seems Evga and BFG are both good companies. I like the idea of BFG having an OC 6800 out of the box at 425. Is the evga at 400? What are your thoughts or should I look elsewhere like PNY etc....Before I make this purchase would like some feedback. Also my Alienware system had a 420 power supply and I purchased today a Antec True 550 Power supply from Zipzoomfly. Will this be sufficient? Thanks Scott

BFG is the best...best warranty, best support, overclocked out of the box. The bundle is poor though. The 550W PSU you purchased will work fine. By the way it is BFG, not BMG.

BMG ...ah ..get some music CD's with that videcard ...way cool!

Both are the same crap. If you OC warrenty isn't going to make a difference.

Just find a 6800u in stock. It doesn't matter which brand it is. Most are all reference design right now using the same coolers. There are a few like the Leadtek that has a different cooler from the stock.

The XFX 6800u is nice also if you can find it in stock some place.
