ahhhh i dont know which one to decide on!!! any tips people? the regular xfx 6600gt is $50+ cheaper than a oc bfg one. i dont know if the bfgs higher price is worth the extra few percentage rendering gains and warranty.

I've found that it's pretty simple (and reasonably safe) to overclock Nvidia's cards with the Coolbits tweak, go with the cheaper card.

stay away from xfx. horrible customer service and a high (er) failure rate than other brands. i have a evga 6600gt and it works very well. i've heard god things about bfg as well.
