XFX is not better than Leadtek. If you are getting a leadtek card cheaper, I suggest going for it.
However I would ask you to spend a bit more, and get the XFX 6800GS (costs arnd 15k). That gives you almost 1.8 - 2 times the performance of 6600GT at a not so high price.

there is a slight diff in performance between XFX & Leadtek

say comes down to 5 to 8 fps dependin on the game

and the price diff is like 2k

so not worth it i guess

my choice would be Leadtek

Leadtek performs better than XFX but there is not a huge diff between the two .. infact its very slightly better and this varies on diff chips. the only benefit ull get with xfx is good service support all over india as rashi peripherals distributes it in india and they have a good number of branches and service centres all over india. but keep in mind that xfx costs more :(

leadtek also allows you to overclock with its own utility called winfox.with xfx u have to use coolbits.

As far as I know, Leadtek offers warranty for 1 year while XFX does so for 3 years. Something to be taken into consideration.

I dont think Linux is specific to certain companies which make hardware .. i think its just the chipset that matters if its supported or not and not the brand. Guys correct me if I am wrong.

yeah its usually only the chipset that matters, as the board architecture is similair to both xfx n leadtek n watever else brand uses the same board....so u ought to check linux compatibility with the chipset, not with the board.

I would bet my ass on a XFX anyday.Installed More than 100 cards over 4 years right from Riva TNT2 M64 When XFX Was Called Pine Group In 2001 to the very recent XFX geforce 6200TC 128mb PCI Express .So Far not a single problem or a burn out faced.

I have recently got a new BIG 6600 256 mb non gt card with 3 years warranty.

Is that card good enough compared to other cards?

Will I face any problem in using it?

I am of the same opinion buddy. The guy seem like has had a huge profit margin. I had enquired about the XFX 6800GT PCI-ex around a week back in Kolkata and I was offered a price tag of Rs.18000 here. Difference between two companies Leadtek and XFX cannot be so much as to have a price difference of Rs.4000.

Come on yaar, you can get a 6200 for Rs.4000, a whole product...

Performance wise BIG card is better than all other 6600 Non GT cards. (according to the review by digit) .

For this reason I have selected this card........

Hey folks,I'm back and with a new comp;Heres what i got

AMD 64 3000+(Venice)
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
2*512 MB DDR Ram (400 MHz in Dual channel mode)
Powersafe 400W PSU
Leadtek 6800 GS 256MB

I'm so glad I got a 6800GS.MostWanted has never looked so good.Loading times are secs.Playing some of my old fav like HL2 with all settings to the max including 8X AA and 16X AF and the fps dosent fall below 60.It's mind blowing.Also playing Chaos Theory and Price of Persia 2 which came with the card.Thats value for money.I would recommend the 6800GS to any die hard gamer like me. :lol:
