£305 for the lot including a sexy bundle of games.

Good price. Games must be worth 50 to 70 pound alone.  All the 6800GTs are built on reference specs but I think Leadtek do a custom cooling solution on theirs.

My XFX GT overclocked straight to Ultra speeds out of the box with normal cooling :D The manual even tells you how to do it and they supply coolbits registry hack on thier driver CD. Go XFX :D  On the down side the XFX game bundle was (to me) pants as it contained Commandos 3, X2 - The Threat and Moto GP 2 none of which are games I would play. I'll add them to the games library I reckon.

Think it is excellent. I could still get a lot more out of it with a faster PC as mine is a p4 533FSB with PC2700 memory and that is quite slow by memory bandwidth rates these days. I upgraded from PC2100 to PC2700 about 1 year ago and it made a big difference to the graphics performance.

The card is excellent (can't hear the fan) and as I said the second thing I did (after running aquamark3 and 3DMark03 was to overclock it to standard Ultra speeds (from 350/1000 to 400/1100). It didn't bat an eye and took the overclock quite happily. Temp went up about a degree or 2 but no more than that.

I got it from Dabs -> XFX 6800 GT

Dabs also do their own range and are offering a 6800GT for under £250 without a games bundle -> Dabs 6800 GT

All cards are based on nVidia reference design at present so they are going to be pretty much identical.
