Hi all, looking to purchase a 460 today but cant decide between these two:

OcUK Value GeForce GTX 460 1024MB - £135
- Core Clock: 675MHz
- Memory Clock: 3600MHz (Effective)
- Shader Clock: 1350MHz

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 460 OC - £144
- Core Clock: 715Mhz
- Memory Clock: 3600MHz (Effective)
- Shader Clock: 1430MHz

Will there be a noticeable difference between the two in terms of speed and sound (believe the Gigabyte has 2 fans - not sure if this would make it louder or more quiet!)?
 
My gigabyte arrived today and wow! its amazing. I had a palit 460 before and god it was noisy.
Not only does this thing run cool and quiet, it clocks well and allows complete control of the voltage up and down! (not sure how high you can go though.) Its great, I have set up some afterburner profiles with stock clocks at .9v for less demanding games and 800/1600/1900 at stock voltage for more demanding games. Have yet to try upping the voltage and clocks as I am running in an ITX rig :)
 
Thanks guys, just ordered the gigabyte. Getting a whole new rig tomorrow and upgrading from a 7800gtx so should see a nice difference :D :D
 
ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI make the best 460's. They come with better than reference coolers (cooler and quieter) for very little extra money.
