Trying to decide between the following 2, going to be upgrading from an XFX 6800GT which i have suspicions is failing a little. Speedfan reports SMBus errors/retries occasionally, and then now and again, it reports 10 retries , the NV Core temperature starts reading a minus temperature, the fan starts spinning maximum speed on it ( usually seems to stay at 50 % ) and everything pauses a bit every 1 second ( including video output, and audio ) requires a reboot to fix.

So, thought id upgrade.

Anyways, which one is better, is the BFG lifetime warranty and great support / brand / track record worth getting as opposed to the higher-clocked OcUK Galaxy, and does the OcUK one cool well / better with that cooler.

1. BFG GeForce 7900 GS OC 256MB £143
2. OcUK Galaxy GeForce 7900 GS OC SILENT 512MB £158
 
yup, went an ordered the OcUK Galaxy one yesteday so it will be arriving on wednesday, will let ye know how that goes.

My current XFX 6800GT with stock cooler runs at 65C idle, and 85 under load, in vista with aero and im pretty sure it used to run about 80'ish load before in XP lol.
