ocuk 8800gtx

[jonathan may]

will the ocuk 8800gtx overclock to the same as the bfg 8800gtx 0c2

 

[Tripnologist]

It's all in the luck of the draw. You won't know how far your card will OC until you try it. Generally they will... but not always.

 

[matthew2456]

i would say chances are youd be able to oc to the stock oc2 speeds

 

[truebluecfc]

Yeh, easy.

 

[jonathan may]

so is it worth the extra £70 for the bfg oc2 and how much more can an oc2 be overclocked

 

[truebluecfc]

No, its not worth £70 in my eyes anyway, yes it comes with lifetime warranty which lets face is it, isn't needed.

I would suspect the BFG Edition would overclock around the same as the OCuK one, maybe slightly more, even at stock your have an extremely fast card.

 

[YoungBlood]

As stated above, at stock they are blindingly fast. No real need to overclock. Can I say that on a overclockers forum

For a little reference my OcUK GTX won't go above 600/985. I run it at stock anyway.

 

[jonathan may]

going to order a gtx first thing in the morning but am unsure which one to get so any help would be great

 

[Foehammer2003]

Personally I would just get the OcUK one as the extra cash doesn't really justify the extra Mhz for me, i was torn between the two, albeit the GTS the other day (standard and OC2) but i didnt need anything more than the standard, and when i do i'll be sure to OC myself for free

 

[jonathan may]

so what do i get with the ocuk 8800gtx i see it say oem is that no box,manual,or drivers

 

[Steedie]

I got one of these the other day, you just get it in an anti-static bag, with a driver CD, an SLi bridge and a VGA-DVI converter. All wrapped in lots and lots and lots of bubble-wrap

 

[jonathan may]

what about the molex to pci-e power lead

Thats shocking.

Same for my soundcard, minus everything but the cd ofcourse.

 

[jonathan may]

so you dont get the power cable then?

 

[YoungBlood]

Mine was retail, which despite needing 2 connectors only had one in the box. I would say it's safe to assume OEM won't have any, but are avilable elsewhere on the website, just stick 2 in your basket if your power supply does'nt have them as standard.

 

[chaparral]

Just order a power cable if you need one went you order your card..
