Final Decision

[rob24]

Okay after a while I have finally decided what to buy!
Im going with the BFG 6800NU OC.
It seems like the best for my price.

My current set-up will then be.

Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz
1gig of ram
BFG 6800NU OC
Abit BH7 motherboard

What do you think of it ?

Also is the BFG 6800NU OC going to be able to fit on my motherboard?
Not sure I think my motherboard is 4x. The 6800NU OC is 4x also rite?

yeah, it'll work in AGP 4x.

I returned a BFG 6800NU awhile ago cause it was lagging in most games i used it with; such as NFSU2, Far Cry (ironicly the game it came with), hl2, DoD, you name it. the weird thing is that it benched ok except in 3dmark01. 3dmark03 - 8500 || 3dmark05 - 2700 || but 3dmark01 - 12000 . It simply wasn't running as well as it should. It was when i had an XP 2100 though. Hopefully you'll have better luck with it.

P.S. Don't let me scare you, i'm sure it's a good card......i just had a bad experiance with it.

Anyone else have bad/good replies with the card?

Do you think the 6800NU OC will show better performance?

Also what videocard did u get after the 6800NU?

Unlock the additional pipes and shader if you can via Rivatuner.
Not guaranteed, but I had one which was clocked at 405/815 with 16 pipes and 6 shaders.

GMaxx Im just looking for a good videocard out of box. Im not going to do anything to it.

that card will be great right out of the box...When I had my 9800xt...which is quite a bit slower than the 6800nu..it was great right out of the box.
