Question Chaintech... are they good??

Hi, i'm going to be getting a new SLI setup, and i saw the chaintech FX6800ultra 256Mb PCI-E...

i've never heard of chaintech before, and was wondering if it is a reliable brand to get...

I'm only asking this because the shop i usually buy from only has the chaintech version of the fx6800ultra in PCI-E...

cheers,
Paul

pretty much all the same just maybe they use their own cooling and if not oem may come with different extra cds with it.

Yeah, they should be like most any others. I have an old Geforce 2 GTS by Chaintech and it's been...OK. It gave me a few problems but I think it was from the computer more than the card as it worked fine in the last comp I had it in...

I've got a chaintech 6600GT, I know your looking at 6800Us but my card is good and I would expect all their cards to be of the same quality. Nothing special but its not a peice of crap and the heatsink doesn't wobble unless I really try to force it.

I have a 6800LE from Chaintech, and I'm happy with it. Unlocked/overclocked it stock.
