Most of the brands source their card from OEMs & do not manufacture their own. So it maybe possible that for 6600 series BIG also sourced from the same OEM as BFG and so the similarity exist. However it can also be said that most probably BFG wud hav got the cards that topped quality standards whereas BIG got not so high quality stuff.

When I said: "BIG is what XFX was few yrs ago", I meant that now BIG has replaced XFX as the VFM card in India. Earlier XFX was also criticized as the cheapo and bad quality card until BIG came along.

XFX never marketed their card under BIG banner. Actually Big Byte Corp (BBC) earlier marketed XFX & now they are marketing BIG cards. XFX was & is also available through Rashi Peripherals.

As Kaustav suggested u can go for XFX if its only 100-200 more dearer.

F.E.A.R. bring every 6600 GT down to its knees, some ppl get better fps by using latest drivers but not all - I cant go above 71.89, none of the video files play when I install any updated driver 76.xx or 81.xx!

One more thing: The above info r also secondary data I got from reading at other forums. If u want to know more about the similarity and overclockabilty, pm directly to Blade Runner ( He knows evrything about gfx cards).
BIG cards can be overclocked and they already come at higher clock speeds than stock.
