You may remember me from such threads as 'what 460GTX' or 'what 560GTX'

Well im still looking, but only because ive now found ATI!

Im looking at this
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-143-OK&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1866

or this

I know the above has two games, would i just be paying the extra (if it wasnt on sale) for the games or is it better?
What are the OcUK branded cards likely to be? Should i pay slightly more or stick with the OcUK brand?

These cards seem to be able to hold there own against the 560 and the 560Ti, and with less power consumption. I had a look at the ATI drivers site and it feels much better than when i last looked... probably 8 years ago.

What do i do? Something got to break soon and its going to be my wallet.

I decided to get the Sapphire after pondering your exact question.

Lots of threads with many people having issues with VRAM with the OCUK/VTX model. I decided to spend the extra few quids for the peace of mind, i'd recommend you do the same.
 
No more bids! Lott sold.

Got a new PSU a well... but not from OcUK sadly.

But :) all round, ive done it at last.

But shhhhhhh, dont tell the other half. Secret squirel ;)
 
It was delivered at 7.16am, bit early but im not one to moan... much ;)
My PSU got delivered shortly after.

Now playing Witcher 2 everying on high including SSDO (not tried Ubersampling yet)... a steady 60fps! Whoop. Thats with my Q8200 @ 2.8. Im a very happy bunny.

It very quiet as well, i didnt realise how noisey my 8800GT was until now.
