Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Which 6800nu?
- Thread starter PornFlake
- Start date
The PNY will overclock to the OC's speeds, but there is no guarantee that' it will go much further.
I have a PNY 6800NU, and it's great. No regrets. I don't care for a warranty, because I'm going to get a new card in less then a year anyway. Not to say that PNY doesn't have okay customer support, I just havn't looked into it. I havn't owned a BFG 6800nu, and I don't think anyone who has a BFG owns a PNY, so you can't really get a good viewpoint from anyone here.
Anyway, the only thing you're going to get from people here is bias. But if a lifetime warranty, and said "great technical supprt" is worth it to you, go with the BFG.
Anyway, performance. Mine OC's to 400+/900 when nothing is unlocked. While unlocked, it can do 350/900. It can go higher, but I don't like pushing it in a sonata. On this forum, I've seen probably 2 people with a PNY 6800. One of them, IIRC, had his mem at 900+, and a 400 core unlocked. The other had a decent overclock, too.
Also, I hate rebates. Damn things usually take forever to go through, and get shipped to the wrong address...I'd go with the PNY.

I have the same card,it doesn't OC quite that high but it gets close and it has GDDR3 memory and unlocks so I'm happy with it.The ability to unluck the pipes is purely luck,although it seems PNY has a higher instance of being able to do it,but that's just an observation on my part.

PNY doesn't have a 1 year warranty. They have a "lifetime" warranty, meaning they warranty the product for the product's lifetime in the market. That could be one year, that could be four years. Most times it is significantly longer than one year though.
If I were buying one now, and I would if I had the money, I would buy the PNY 6800NU for $249.99 @ outpost.com.

The PNY 6800 warranty is 1 year plus 2 additional years when you register online (http://www.pny.com/products/verto/performance/6800.asp). I have had both the PNY and BFG 6800's and like them both and I received satisfactory tech support from both companies. (My PNY unlocked all pilel/vertex units w/Rivatuner and autodetects 395/845).
CC only sells eVGA not BFG.
PornFlake said:CC has the BFG for $299 minus a $50 rebate = $249
Outpost has the PNY for $249 straight up.
Any thoughts on which one to choose? I am replacing a 128 MB 9800 NP.
Unlocking the pipes/VS and OC'ing are important to me.
