| | (Post a comment) » BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC PCI-E ReviewWith a lifetime factory warranty, BFG's graphics cards have always appealed to the practical crowd, but with their new "OC" line of cards, enthusiasts are happy too. Take BFG's GeForce 6600 GT OC for instance. BFG skips the NVIDIA reference cooler for a custom copper cooler of their own decked out with blue LEDs, and for added performance, BFG overclocks the card for you by default. And don't forget SLI. See how this card stacks up to NVIDIA's reference GeForce 6600 GT in single card and SLI configs, as well as the GeForce 6800 GT and X700 PRO in today's review! |  Previous news article | Back to main news | Next news article  |

Yes it does look nice , but I myself bought a stock 6600 GT 128 DDR3
and with a XG driver ( I think that's the name but not sure) it
comes with several performance teawks and unlocked the OC options
from where I can do a auto detect the optimal clock frequencies and
right now they are at 500 Mhz and 1000 GHZ, so I think there is no
point on buying that GC if you can do all the teawing with mod
drivers, of course always keeping in mind a new GC cooler would a
good idea.
But by doing so, yes I do loose the nvidia warranty, but that's up
to me.
Cheers

"Consequentially"
"Consequently"
Hmmm.... I guess they're both adverbs and can be used, but I prefer
the latter. Three fewer letters and one less syllable makes it flow
better. But that's just me. :p

There's something more fundamental here. Every warranty ever made
by anyone has a hundred clauses of how they can get out of it.
That's just for the sake of liability and to give them a way out.
All warranties are written like this to make average users follow
instructions and not not try !$!& they shouldn't. Regardless of how
explicit the warranty is, you could probably use a lighter to burn a
hole in the side of the card and they would replace it (maybe a bit
of an exageration, but you get my point). Warranty divisions just
replace things without too many questions. Companies found out a
while ago that just replacing things is generally better than making
consumers &#!%%% off. I am sure, if the whole card is lifetime
warrantied, they'll replace anything but the fan. If the card burns
out, they'll replace it. I would even hazard a guess, that if you
pushed, they'd replace the fan too and maybe charge you shipping.

Well with the fan being something that has a normally short life
span it is worth pointing out. The way the review reads makes it
sound like the card and fan has a warrenty for life. That was kind
of what I was hoping to point out by my post.
7: My guess is that if the card dies from a dead fan they wouldn't
replace it. That would probably fall under "user error,
accident, misuse" seeing how the card is supposed to be used
with a fan.

How come there are no plain vanilla 6800 PCI-E reviews? Uhh, and
just just at FS, but pretty much everywhere.

So after 1 year...the fan dies and your card dies (overheat from
having busted fan)...they won't replace the card? Or will they
replace the card, but not replace the fan?
