More Information

I have these two cards and am trying to decided to return one, or ebay one, and which one to keep.

BFG 8800 GT OC2 cost @216 delivered

XFX 8800 GT Extreme Edition was $250 - $50 instant Rebate at Fry's, and also has a $50 mail in rebate for a total of $166 ($150 + $16 tax)

They are both obviously overclocked, with the BFG being a little more overclocked

Reference Core Clock 600MHz - Shader Clock 1.5GHz - Memory Data Rate 1.8GHz

BFG Clock 675MHz - Shader Clock 1.674GHz - Memory Data Rate 1.95GHz

XFX Clock 640MHz - Shader clock 1.5GHz - Memory Data Rate 1.9GH

They are both 512MB DDR3 and the XFX comes with Company of Heroes.

It appears that I also get a $30 rebate on the BFG card so that drops it down a bit. If I sell the XFX on Ebay I can make $30-40 on it so although it is more trouble to keep the BFG card, the cost would end up being about the same.

BFG - $186

XFX - $166
