I was about to buy an EVGA 6800gs 256 CO superclocked card, and I casually find and article about a Gainward card Gainward BLISS 6800 GS ‘Goes like hell’ 512MB PCI-e so my question is which one i should go for? and why?
 
The Gainward has some insane clocks, but what are the prices we are talking? Does the Gainward Bliss cost alot more than the CO SC? As much as a X850XT? As much as a 7800GT? I haven't seen that Gainward for sale so can't comment on how good a buy it would be. If it is not yet available then 7900GT's might be available and then 7800GT's should be cheaper.
 
Gainward also has been known to throw in massive ass heatsinks on thier card. Yeah what are the prices? because if its more than 300 dollars than just go 6800 ultra/7800 gt. Ebay has 6800 ultra pci-e Cards going for 250 easy and you can find a 7800 gt for 285 on newegg.
