Sent off my broken 6800le agp last week and this morning got a delivery of a 6600gt. Don't know if this was a mistake or what but I want a 6800 le not a 6600gt. What is the performance difference between the 2 cards?
 
The main reason I bought the Le was to unlock the pipes and run it as a 6800gt (didn't even get to try to do this as it was borked!).
 
Thing is I wasn't even asked, just sent it. Wouldn't be so norked if I was given a choice of alternatives. Now what's the chance they will let me choose something else

I wouldnt accept it - because 90% of the time the 6800le would murder a 6600gt if it unlocks and it will overclock.

Pretty much what I thought. Now to try get hold of them again and see what they say
 
But the reason I bought it was because there was a possibility it would unlock. Surely features of the card should come into play as well as raw performance.
 
Not trying to fleece them, just want something which is suitable to me and comparable to what I originally wanted. I wouldn't mind a pci-e substitute actually as would give me an incentive to upgrade the rest of my gear. Fingers crossed and will let you know what they say tomorrow!
 
Had a look and it seems the 6800le is priced above the 6600gt by about £10 so I have not been given a card of equal value or higher. Going to ring them tomorrow from a landline assuming they are open? Don't want to be stuck hours on end from my mobile
