Quick 6800 NU Question - Which Brand?

I'd go with either the eVGA or the MSI. Since I already have farcry (included with the eVGA), I lean towards the MSI and that bundle. There is also a rumor, yes a rumor, that preliminary results from beta testing of rivatuner shows that some MSI 6800 can be configured to sucessfully unlock the 4 extra pipes for a total of 16. But since this testing is in the early stages, it is unclear if the MSI boards are any more unlockable than any other brand.
 
MSI only comes with a Power Cable, DVI Adapter, and Svideo Cable. The Leadtek throws in extra a SV-to-AV adapter (very usefull) and an av cable.

Both MSI and Leadtek have great bundles. The MSI might have a lead over the Leadtek, but it should come down to what games you like in the bundle.

I chose the leadtek because it was instock at the time, had the cables I was looking for, two cool games and the older gunmetal game, plus nice hardware monitoring and overclocking software. The heatsink on both sides of the card is also real nice.

Here are pics of my card:

I saw the 6800nu 128mb BFG overclocked with Far Cry at my local Best Buy this last week. Might be a good choice if you don't want to pay shipping.
 
yea i saw that 6800nu OC at bestbuy too looks like a good deal.\

btw gts are not hard to find
 
They sell BFG 6800 NU's at Best Buy? They're not listed on Bestbuy.com... Are you sure? Cause I have a friend that works at Best Buy, and that would be awesome.
