The BFG is slightly overclocked for £10 more, has better warranty as well I think.

*EDIT* oops double post.

Generally the OC just indicates that it is pre-overclocked, I can't find both those models on OcUK to make sure but standard clock speeds for an 8800GTS are 500mhz core and 1600mhz Ram so compare them both against that. You can normally overclock to at least the levels of these pre-overclocked models but there are no guarantees of course.

so the "OC" version is better then?, only thing is-on researching, other places are pricing them the other way around?????

As said the OC version comes overclocked out of the box, so will be slightly faster. It will be a tiny OC though.

The warranty will be the same for both.

Yeah warranty will be the same as they both BFG's.

320mb OC is 550MHz Core, 1300mhz Shader Clock Speed, and 1600mhz Memory.

320mb Standard non OC one is 500mhz Core, 1200mhz Shader, 1600mhz Memory.
