visiontek gf2 users?

[toonces]

anybody out there got any comments/experiences about using the visiontek gf2 cards? i'm looking at them at @ 160$ but i don't know about their quality or reliability. i'm upgrading from a tnt and am thinking about the leadtek ddr card w/ tv out or the cheapest gf2 card (the visiontek). i don't really want to spend 160 for a gf2 but if the card is acceptable i might consider it.

Go with the Leadtek. They are said to be good, and they have a huge 60% larger heatsink than normal GF2's so you can overclock.

see... that's what i'm thinking, but i really wanted to hear if anyone had good experiences w/ the visiontek boards. as far as i know the v.t. boards are all OEM stuff and not really sold retail. but i figure a gf2 has got to be better than a ddr gf.? but if it's not had a good track record i KNOW that leadtek is solid.

Yeah, overclock the core by 40% to get your 2% gain. Wow.

Go with the Visiontek if you want. Mine runs fine overclocked. Memory at 380mhz, core at 225, and I haven't tried pushing the core yet (although I did once overheat the memory at 400MHZ after about 8 minutes on 3D mark, that was my first try, and 380 hasn't given me any problems)

If I were you, I would get Leadtek's GeForce 2 GTS. you can get it for $179. It's only $20 more. Leadtek's solid and great tech support in US. go to pricewatch.com
