Thanx in advance :D
 
First link as it has the larger fan which is very efficient from what I've seen. I wouldn't risk it with the other two.
 
its £5 and either stock speed, silence & more speed or just more speed??? 5 quid is nowt I just think that 5 quid thats all so all views are good so far
 
Get the standard Leadtek 512MB, not the OC'd one and not the Zalman one.

I have the leadtek and it is practically silent even at full load (crysis @ 1680x1050) for 3 hours. I actually put my hand near the fan because I couldn't tell if it was moving or not and I feared it was gonna burn out if the fan failed. That's how quiet it is.
 
The Zalman one looks like it has the best cooler

"20 °C Lower than NV Reference Cooler"

The cooler it is the more you can overclock and you could just set it to the highest overclocked Leadtek one :)

The GT is slower than the GTS at stock but they overclock about the same. The extra 16 stream processors were thought by a lot of us that it would push on the GTX but it didn't do much and that's why so many people will decide between the 8800GT and the 8800GTX (dependant on the resolution as GTX for 1680x1050 and above with AA and AF).

The GTS 512 is actually slightly faster, however there isn't much in it, especially if you overclock the GT. I personally went for the cheapest leadtek, but that was when they were £160, at those prices i would consider just getting a GTS 512mb for the sake of the extra £20
 
Having had the old GTS, GT and new GTS (never had a GTX as it's too big for my case) for the sake of a few quid i would Get the cheapest new GTS as it comes with a great cooler and is slightly faster than a GT.

I got a Sparkle GTS for £200 when they first came out, It was cheaper and is more reliable, faster, quieter and came better packaged than the BFG OC2 8800 GT I bought for £210
