What's the best 6600GT AGP to get?

i thought about getting the XFX but i heared it would go over 50C at times and idle ar around 45C... seems a little to hot... should i go for the MSI? :unsure:

Found some reviews , the msi is highly thought of . The Xfx has crappy support .

Check out the noise level comparison ! Msi = 1 Xfx =5 . :unsure: And for what it's worth HDTV output only avalable with the Msi. :)


Hey who's BFG ? Notice their core and memory clocks , are some what higher !

hmmm.. is that 50 MHz gonna make a difference from MSI and XFX?

actually i might get the BFG... it has the lowest temperature and the highest benchmarking for FPS. :cool:

I don't know, you can over clock your self ! But read all the reviews ,I found them very interesting . Like the Bfg OC ! :) Ya the Bfg is factory over clocked . and has a life time warranty , best in the indusrty ! :01:

hmmm... newegg doesen't sell the BFG.. what was that other computer site.. it was something tiger..

Hey Monk did you see my edit about the warranty?

yep, trying to look for the BFG... i cant find any..

http://www.bfgtech.com/buy_redux.html Ah good old goggle ! :D

lol i checked that site... didn't find anything good

i think i just might the XFX...

How can anyone really tell if noise is a significant factor from that report? All you get is a subjective level 1 for the MSI board compared to a 4 for the BFG offering and a 5 for the XFX. Couldn't they hire a sound meter FFS.

Did anyone check the OC benchies? The XFX outstripped the BFG each time when OCed, but without revealing the resulting temps it seems a little meaningless. Still, I suppose you can draw the conclusion that the boards were stable at the quoted speeds so perhaps temp isn't that important. I wouldn't want to bet on it though.

Still, a useful comparison, but I guess I'll probably be going for a PCI-E board next so it's not going to really affect me.
