Ok i have a question regarding these two card. I know the BFG is already overclocked, but can the Nvidia 6800 Ultra overclock just as easy as the BFG with the normal effects that go along with overclocking? Like does the BFG run easier overclocked than the normal 6800 Ultra.
 
I don't understand what you are asking. Is the BFG a non ultra 6800 if so there is no way it would match the performance of the 6800 ultra, also nVidia doesn't make cards so which ultra are you talking about. Also there is no guarantee on overclocking no matter what card you get, all you get is that the overclocked one is sure to reach a higher speed while the non oced can probably do the same but is not guaranted, only if there was some kind of binning done to pick out the oced ones that there might be a difference.

I was asking if the normal nvidia 6800 ultra can OC just as easily as the already oc'd BFG ultra 6800
 
In that case there is no guarantee that one will overclock higher then another, unless there was some binning done, because most of the time the overclocked boards have clocks that are easily reached with a non oc board.
