BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC Review - PAGE 1

Introduction

It has been a few weeks since we did a preview of the 6800 series from Nvidia and it has been a few weeks more than that since the 6800 was officially introduced in April. 6800s have been about as prominent as Italian Hip Wader sightings outside of the fashion strip. However, it seems like Nvidia and its partners are finally going to be hitting the market in full force during the month of July, just in time for DOOM 3.

While a lot of manufacturers churn out both Nvidia and ATi cards there are only a handful of companies are stoically in one camp or the other. BFG Technologies is one of these companies. Something that is sort of quizzical is the way that some manufacturers can sell overlapping products from differing manufacturers; as a consumer it does not instill a lot of confidence in me because they are not standing behind a particular product because of performance or quality but they are just pumping differing cards out en masse. With a company like BFG this is simply not a choice because their target audience is the enthusiast market and selling a product that they do not believe in is simply suicide.

Today we take a look at BFG's 6800 GT OC. In their 6800 lineup, the OC takes a 3^rd place in their high end lineup behind the Stock and Watercooled GeForce 6800 Ultra OC. Make no mistake about 3^rd fastest in their lineup though as this is definitely a very fast video card.
