I have a reference 980, and want a 2nd. I'm hovering over the buy button right now.

I seem to have the following options...

OCuK reference variant, cheap, highest probability of haribo? Reference design.

Zotac reference variant, £8 more gets me a 5 year warranty, which I like...

Palit Jetstream version, £30 more, but possibly a good cooler? My other card is reference and the slot spacing on my board will give the top card a gap to breathe, so I'm thinking this at the bottom might be nice and cool?

Anyone else tried the Palit card?

Answers before I hit buy would be much appreciated! :D

I'd just buy the OcUK card, cheapest and likely by far the least hassle on the warranty front.

Done!

I found a review of the 970 version of the Palit (same cooler) and it didn't cool any better than the reference, plus it means heat in the case.

Now maybe I can beat my old trifire 3dmark score :D
 
These don't have dual bios like the 7990/7970 did though do they? How risky is it? :/

Dos mode and some random utility I guess?
