BFG Technologies 6800GT, misleading card description?
I am planning on getting a x800 pro or a 6800GT. Next week I am going to be in Flordia, where my Grandfather lives, and he happens to be very generous so I'm thinking I might end up paying maybe half of it, or 3/4, whatever I may just end up paying less for it . So I would like to buy in in Flordia. Every x800pro/6800GT is sold out, except for "BFG Technologies GeForce 6800 GT OC"(well on the website it is anyway). I checked the local store availibility for the zipcode there, and it is availible in quite a few stores in that area(or so it says...). But looking at the description it says it is an overclocked graphics card? What is that supposed to mean? It comes overclocked? It is great for overclocking? I have never ehard of the manufacturer either. So I guess what I am looking for is someone who has had this card, or any idea as to what "This overclocked graphics card " means?
Thanks for any help.
edit: I see the title of the thread is kind of crappy, sorry bout that.
edit2: Did a little research.. so it comes overclocked out of the box... is that necessarily a good thing?
