Whats the best brand to get them? BFG? Also how does this card compare to the x800 XT or the 6800 Ultra? Whats the highest air stable OC?

I purchased a x800 XT but was damaged during shipping and by the time I returned it to the retailer they had none instock to exchange it so I took a refund not wanting to wait.

Please keep all the SM3.0 and all that other crap out of the thread, not asking about that and really dont care about it. I just want to know which honestly offers the best average performance (dont care for price either).
 
x800xt is top dog right now, 6800gt and 6800u has a lot of potential to pass the x800. You can't go wrong with either, I went with the 6800gt because nvidia is in bed with a lot of the developers of some good future games. They have farcry jumping through hoops. And they are seeing the benefits from it, they will probably poor money into other gamemakers to implement nvidia friendly perks.
 
Best nvidia brands are probably BFG and eVGA. The 6800GT is a bit slower than the 6800U (350/1000 versus 400/1100), but it can be overclocked to and past 6800U levels without modding in most cases since its exactly the same architecture, and the x800xt is the same speed as the 6800U, so in other words the 6800GT is blazingly fast and can be OC'd to 6800U/x800xt levels for $100 less. This is why so many are jumping on it.
 
Anyone know an US Retailers that are carrying the GAINWARD POWERPACK! ULTRA/2400? Its using the same 1.6GDDR that the Ultras are.
