Hi. This is my first post here. I am looking to buy a 6800 Ultra AGP card. I have no clue which brand is better. I have looked at EVGA, MSI and XFX. I have no idea which one is better. Does anyone know of any links to some helpful reviews or has an opinion? Thanks.

Gainward is the best, if that's out of your price range, go with EVGA.

I have a BFG 6800 Ultra OC and I am happy with it. But right now, I'd go for one of these 6800GT's (linked below) instead and save $100+. If you are in the USA, those are way better deals than any 6800U deals I have seen lately. $420 vs. $295 is a no brainer for my wallet. Actually though, in high end AGP, I'd go <A HREF="http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=321314" target="_new">AIW X800XT BBA</A>(built by ATI). It is on par with the 6800U, plus tv tuner/video capture, and far cheaper.

I'm all kinds of happy with my Evga 6800U

I did have a slight problem installing it, had to flash the bios so 2d and 3d speeds matched. I guess you could fix problem with coolbits too. Other than that, its sweet. Overclocks very well. I have mine running 460/1.15

For whatever its worth Nvidia's 7800 is coming out in a week or so.
