r_target Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Unlocking pipes is always a gamble. I don't think a different brand of 6800 would help or hurt the chances much either way. From what I understand, the older 6800's that were made last Spring/Summer/Fall have had a higher success rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 If it is a more recent card then it is less likely for a successful unlocking of the card. Between the two though I would recommend the XFX branded one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I just have to say this: You are comparing the two CHEAPEST AGP 6800's that I could find on newegg. Maybe that means nothing to some people, but I like to believe you get what you pay for. If you want a card that has the best chance of big performance, starting with the cheapest card you can find really doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
