Hi guys,

I am still looking at buying a new graphics card and have just seen this,

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Leadtek_SALE.html

Its the 6th one down, or 3rd one up. The product code is below.

Leadtek WinFast GeForce 6800 GT 256MB DDR3 TV-Out/DVI (AGP) - Retail (GX-068-LT)

I get the idea this is a good deal, but would like your opinion before i buy.
Hope you can help, and cheers! :thumb:

Its limited stock so if you could let me know then i would be very greatful!
 
£165.00 is a very good deal.

I saw that a few days ago (there was a link on this forum) and almost bought one myself, but I a bit borassic :D

Check they're definitely in stock before you order.

Cooling looks good on that card, so yes, it may do.

All the luck of the draw, really, but I'd say you'd definitely get some extra oomph out of it, even if it doesn't quite reach speeds of that other card.
 
That does look a stonkingly good card and with the 16 pipe architecture should be all you need for any game out there for quite a while....Overclocking the card shouldn't be needed for a while so just enjoy the card as is for now, and oc it when the time comes...should be ages before you even think about it....:D
 
Well if its only the coolin that i wll have toworry about then i may end up gettin a Arctic Cooler for it at a later date! (If i get it that is!)

Thats a good point! ;)
 
Just spoke to someone at Overclockers, They have just over 300 of the GX-068-LT, the £165 one. they got 95 of the GX-066-LT the £200 one!

Now all i gotta do is pick one!! :p :confused:

How much of a difference will the extra 100mhz on the memory really make in games, and is it really worth the extra money?
 
If i can sell my card atm then i am VERY tempted to get this card also ... lol it's VERY good price i say so i will probably get it if you don't mind hehe thanx for showing me this !!!

Please see my thread on my card hehe :P NEED TO SELL !

Why would i mind!? :) Its all good!
 
Well you never know matey !!! hehe

Can't wait to get some extra money ... coz i am in some dept with parents hehe :P And this card will outr perform my card atm anywayz !!!

Grrr hate it when prices drop when i buy something !!! hehe oh well that's life and will always happen !
 
Thats why i've been trying not to buy the first thing i see! Waiting for a bargin, and i think i've now found it!! :cool:


Will the extra 100mhz make a big difference between the two?
 
No not much difference you wouldn't notice it in real world terms.....only place it would become apparent is if you were benchmarking the two together...


And even then who's to say if you put the £165 card in my machine and the £200 card in yours that my machine may run it faster than your system could run the dearer one, due to differences in motherboard, ram and Bus performance....

Take the card now before the price jumps.....:thumb:
