Have a look-see at the thread titled "Any help with blurry 2d on a GeForce
6800?" started on 1/2/05. It's about my experiences with the BFG Tech 6800
cards, but I wouldn't be surprised if the shoddy components were shared with
the 6600 line of cards too. I'm steering clear of BFG Tech from now on. Not
worth the risk when there are better brands.
