Whats the best 7800gt to get. BFG, Leadtek or the XFX. Ive heard there have been problems with the XFX so might not be the best to get?

And is it worth getting say an Leadtek 7800gt Extreme compared to the normal one, for £50 extra. Can't you just clock the normal one?

Cheers

Yes you can just get the standard 7800GT, as they're all pretty much the same with a new fan sticker. They all have good overclocking potential. My card has a fan issue, it's loud... though I'm forced to get used to it.
 
get the normal/cheapest one m8, my pixelview 7800GT (400/1000 stock) can do 486(+40 delta)/1150 with stock voltage and heatsink :D
 
Forgive the ignorance bu what is a (+40 delta)/. I have the same card and was wondering what kind of cooler or heatsink it would require? Thanks
 
I would agree with the cheapest aswell i got an albatron 7800gt...was benching earlier at 510/1160 stock cooler....well happy :D
 
just done a google on the delta you were referring to. Wondering if you could achieve better or similar results from one of these: Thermalright V-1 Ultra VGA Heatsink :eek:

Ah... I think I've seen a review for that, it comes with a decent size sink but a fan which doesn't really push much air. It'll probably keep it quieter than your usual 7800GT stock fan and allow you to overclock an extra 5-10MHz, but don't quote me on that. I've seen reviews that you can even append your own fan onto one of these coolers. Though much assumption is that the AC are better overall and perhaps the Zalman VGA coolers.
