Theres a difference in base+boost speeds, but it is a small fraction of the total Mhz and so performance differences between them will be small and not worth losing sleep over.

Cooling, quietness and design may be more important to you.
 
to be honest small performance wont really bother me as I am coming from a 6800 card. So a quiet/cool card would go down a treat
 
That inno3D hybrid (with the external rad+fan) should be good and you ought to be able to fit it in the case without pulling your hair out.
 
For me no:D

For you also no, its like push it into the slot (the retention clip on the slot then locks into place, fit two screws into the card into the case and then mount the rad+fan (four more screws I would have guessed) in the fan slot at the rear of the case (removing the existing fan).
 
The fan that comes with the gfx card will just replace it.

But will also sandwich the rad in between itself and the metal frame of the case.

On nearly all fans I have seen there are two arrows moulded into the frame, this shows direction of rotation and direction of air flow.

Have the fan fitted so its blowing rearwards.
 
Yes, its no where near the gfx card, its also low profile.

I also think the case has elongated slots for the fans/rad to mount too, so you have a bit of adjustability with final positioning.
