Best GAMING Performance out of the Box per pound spent?

Best Potential Gaming Performance with Overclocking in mind, Stability, noise and Heat control a must?

Im leaing towards the Tri-X, its got a mental cooler, comes pre clocked pretty decently and has Hynix Mem so will OC like a beast, although i would put the PCS+ fairly close to it, the Vapor-X just loses out due to its overall price.
 
Watching with interest but I'm also considering a 780 ti as well just because I loved the 780 so much.
 
if warranty matters to you i think i would take asus off the list
shame u wernt buying a couple weeks ago, ocuk had a crazy deal on the powercolor

im going to be different and say vapor :)
 
£199 is mad and sadly has now made me not want to buy a new one as I'll feel I'm paying so much extra.

There was about 10 of em and they have 295 X2's for £750 or summin.

got mine for £199.99 though so im happy :)

well worth £300 though.
 
IMO that VTX doesn't deserve to be in the running. :p

Have a 280X with same design, awful. Running alongside Vapors it was like 20C hotter and twice as noisy.
