I think that's the same motto I've got on my Asus P5B motherboard box at home...

Yup you can see it under the ASUS logo in the picture of a P5B motherboard here. So the translation's correct.

Yeah ive the same mobo, noticed it back then, just sounds kind of odd for a pc component "heart touching" wtf.

get the OC2 that way you know it has been clocked to approx the highest the GT can go, standard ones arent guaranteed to be able to go as high

I was going to post same opinion as Woozy but he beat me to it.

Well the price difference does make one think twice now, considering that one MIGHT OC the leadtek to the same clocks......

WMain00 · 26 Nov 2007 at 11:55

I'm basing my choices on what's available when i get back from the bank.

woozy2k7 · 26 Nov 2007 at 11:55

woah just noticed the price on the OC2 went up. WTF

ok, get the leadtek standard clock for a lot less and hope you get a overclockable capable card if you really want one straight away

Time to await the "supply and demand" rhetoric. :eek:

The leadtek is 187.99 + shipping, not 158 delivered...

Not much difference - Get the BFG.

Looks like i won't be moving from the computer any time soon, I don't want to settle for a leadtek only to have the BFG come in stock moments after i press buy!

If i new i could clock a Leadtek to 2000/700 (same as Amp) there would be no problem as I have a Leadtek 8800GTS 640mb and its a good card

well i think that is why so few pre clocked cards are arriving because few are able to be stable unless better cooling is applied and i dont beleive the standard leadteks could reach the amp clock

and yeah the 8800 GTS IS a good card (my BFG GTS 0C2 was - grr at ebay tossers) but the GT standard is still faster than the GTS
