BFG 6800 OC or 6600 GT OC?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia (More info?)

Have a look-see at the thread titled "Any help with blurry 2d on a GeForce
6800?" started on 1/2/05. You'll see the BFG Tech 6800 OC card scores very
low in my book. Seems very shoddily made, skimping on image quality. Very
blurry/fuzzy 2d/3d at anything above 1280x960@60Hz. Every other video card,
including my old Ti4200 has been crystal clear with sharp text. The
blurryness in 3d isn't as noticeable unless there is text, but the whole
reason I shelled out the money for this card is to play Half-Life 2, amont
other games, at 1280x960 with max detail. Totally unacceptable. I'm on my
second card now with the same problem so it's going back and I'm gonna get a
different brand.

I didn't know they make the 6800 GT in 128 flavor?
If they do then yeah I'd go for that card since it is probably close to your
budget.
I would recommend saving up until you can afford a full blown 6800 GT 256.

Strange, in one place it says:
"Superscalar 12-pipe GPU Architecture"

Then a few lines later I read:
"Superscalar 16-Pipe GPU Architecture"

And I wonder if:
"Support for the world’s fastest GDDR3 memory"
means it has GDDR3 or just has "support" for it.

I have two 6800 OC's and theyre great cards. By the way - theyre BFG brand.
Anything else and you might end up with an experience like Mr.Dunkle > 
I bought these cards, also, solely for the Halflife2 and Doom3 experience
and with everything on full (!) theres absolutely no lag, blurryness, or
artifacts. Ever. I must say I also unlocked the inactive pipelines via
Rivatuner. This is running on an xp64 3000+ with 512ddr - pretty standard.
