7950 which card from same brand

When considering a card to be watercooled and overclocked is it better to go with a bottom of the range stock card or a pre overclocked one?

I wonder if during production the factory overclocked ones are cherry picked and the basic ones are those that fail to be stable at speeds? or are all cards born equal in the eyes of the factories and i may as well save money and buy the cheapest.

I think its a lottery, I doubt vendors spend the time testing all their GPU's and binning them at different speeds/voltages etc. If you are watercooling just get one with good power delivery if possible. Are you using just GPU blocks or full cover blocks?

Good question. The money saved could go a long way to paying for the watercooling. And would there be a market for the fans taken off.
