I modified the order and placed it again.  The BFG card (although going from a GT to GTX) gave me an additional 140 base MHz and not quite doubled my memory clock speed.

Should be solid.  We'll see.

I would be money that if you did a controlled test with various models of nvidia cards across all the manufacturers that the BFG cards would consistently out perform the others considerably.

Another nice company if you want cheap is gigabyte

Couldn't seem to find the game files, things like screenshots were almost impossible to find, game sucked complete ass, loading the game had some issues IIRC

They give you three days to get your $$ back.  Or was this before that?  I only just found this out myself BTW.

Yeah but still... that means I'll be without my computer for 6 days plus the time to put the new one together.  I'll be relegated to using my work laptop or my home laptop.  Grr..

You already sold your other machine? Shouldn't you have waited?

I think the Bucket pulled one over on you.
