    ELSA nVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT

    Whats everyone think about this video card? I'm considering it... Right now I'm running the FX 5700 Ultra, will it be worth the upgrade for that amount of money do you think?

    looks like a reference GT card to me. the price is right.

    you will definitely see a jump from a 5700. My framerates nearly doubled from a 5900xt.

    Alright, sounds good...

    I'll get either that one or this PNY for $368.00

    Probably the PNY...

    the ELSA and PNY should be about the same, so go for whatever is cheaper.

    I got a PNY a long time ago. It's a pretty decent card, considering that it's only reference spec. I got a copper heatsink from evga and that seemed to help a little. You can always upgrade to an Arctic Silencer.

    lol yeah, I'm so sick of it right now...

    I think my whole system is messed up because of it. Every once in a while my game will crash or freeze up and also, on 3DMark 03 it always crashes my computer (restarts) after it is done loading Test #2 but before it starts test #2... like inbetween while the screen is black.

    I dont know if its my video card, or my RAM, or my CPU...

    (it was all overclocked)
