6800 GT Card Manufacturer choice

[dthayer]

So I've seen the Geforce 6800 GT around for anywhere from $344 to $460, so I assume there is a lot of company pricing coming into play. The most common cards that I've seen are AOpen's Aeolus, eVGA and BFG technologies, although I've seen a PNY which is the low end of the cost spectrum. Are one of these cards better than the other? Should I just skip it and go with the Radeon X800 Pro (even though the GT seems to edge it out in a lot of benchmarks and costs less anyway) or am I missing the point entirely?

Thanks

BFG seems to have a bit of a Cache at the moment. Plus they overclock their cards (6800GT anyway) before sending them to you, plus they guarantee the card for life, overclocked and all!

I got one a few days ago - no complaints.
