I wouldn't worry too much about getting the GHz edition but would get one of these 2. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161412 Shown to be best for overclocksing (1250 Mhz on core and 1800+ on memory) or http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127670 Great overclocker and very silent even at high fan speed. There is nothing worse than pushing a card to 100% and having it sound like a jet engine. I know both are out of stock/discontinued at newegg, but if you can find one of these 2, you're getting best bang for the buck. Stay away from the stock reference design. You will not hear yourself think cause its so loud at 70-80% fan speed. |
Also I should change case, I bet this cards heats a lot. Is a case with 2 lateral 120mm fans and back fan enough ?
