BFG Technologies GeForce 6800 Graphics Card - 350 MHz Core - 128 MB DDR SDRAM - AGP 8x

GeForce 6800 Video Card (128MB, AGP 8X, DVI, 2D/3D w/ TV-Out).

Strengths: Factory Overclocked, Cool Blue LED's, Lifetime Warranty

Weakness: None

This card was a great improvement from my Radeon 9800SE. What a difference having the detail levels maxed out is. No more choppy gameplay, makes games such as Farcry, Half-Lif3 2 and Unreal Tournament 2004 fun again. Includes everything you need to get it running out of the box, power adapters and driver discs. Wouldnt hurt to download the latest set from Nvidia though. Overall, its a great card...

great video card

Strengths: good performance, overclocked out of box. possible to unlock extra pipelines to increase performance. relatively quiet fan. looks good. nvidia drivers > radeon drivers.

Weakness: none, wish i got a card with 256MB of vram but thats splitting hairs. DVI boot issue?

great video card. easy to install. it looks good (cool blue lights), the fan isnt relatively loud, and i was able to unlock an extra pixel pipe and extra vertex unit on my card for more performance. (your results may differ, but ive read it works on most cards) it's also easy to overclock (although i havnt) if you really want to squeeze more performance out of it. The only thing bad i have to say...

The only thing bad i have to say about the card is when i boot without power to my lcd montior, its seems like the DVI stops working. i keep my monitor on a separate power strip which i turn off. not sure if its just on my system, but im too lazy to try to troubleshoot it since it works fine when i boot with my power strip/monitor on. just thought id mention it.

This is the perfect card! I...

Strengths: Everything! Blazing fast card and a lifetime warranty!

Weakness: May be too power-consuming for some.

This is the perfect card! I upgraded from a 5900se and can definitely see the difference. I can run Farcry and Doom 3 at the highest settings with sweet framerates. If you have a budget of under 300, the 6800oc is THE card to get!

I decided to finally upgrade from...

Strengths: Very good price after rebates. Build quality. Performance

Weakness: Still pricey for "everyday" users

I decided to finally upgrade from my Ti 4200. I was able to get this card for about $200 after rebates! Performs very well and I was able to unlock this card to get performance comparable to a 6800 GT. This card is overclocked right out of the box and has an impressive heat sink and fan setup. It also comes bundled with Farcry. Every game I've thrown at this card has run great even at high...

I decided to finally upgrade from my Ti 4200. I was able to get this card for about $200 after rebates! Performs very well and I was able to unlock this card to get performance comparable to a 6800 GT. This card is overclocked right out of the box and has an impressive heat sink and fan setup. It also comes bundled with Farcry. Every game I've thrown at this card has run great even at high settings (Doom 3, Half Life 2, etc.) This is no 6800 ultra but for the price I paid this was well worth it. I would recommend this card for anyone who does moderate to heavy gaming. Hardcore gamers might want to spend the extra money for a 6800 ultra. If you only do casual gaming I would say to just stay in the $100 range for a video card.

BFG6800oc AGP card

Strengths: Can handle any game at reasonable resolution and detail currently on the market Can be overlocked even further and potential to unlock extra pipelines and vertices

Weakness: No longer the latest and greatest, fan is not as quiet as preferred, wish it had 256mb memory

This card has suited its purpose/marketing intentions well, and at an acceptable price. Performs well with HL2/CS:Source, Doom3, and even BF2 as well as pretty much any other game out there. Sure it will get beat by the 7800 series cards, but that is to be expected. Once again BFG proves to have improved where others have chosen to simply produce a reference/no-frills card. Great for those still...

Once again BFG proves to have improved where others have chosen to simply produce a reference/no-frills card.

Great for those still using AGP systems and wanting to step up from an ATI 9xxx or Nvidia 5xxx card.
