New GPU

[ferny111]

I am looking at three cards right now, all the same price. Please give me any feed back and what you think would be the best card and any known issues/advantages to buying the cards such as heat issues or SLI/Crossfire X issues. Thanks
The Cards Are:

EVGA GTX 460 1 GB 720 Mhz chipset, DDR5 3600 Mhz

EVGA GTX 460 Superclocked 1GB 763 Mhz chipset, DDR5 3800 Mhz

Shapphire 6850 1 GB 775 Mhz chipset, DRR5 4000Mhz

Of the three, assuming all cards are new and covered by their warranties, there is no performance reason to choose #1, but it may run cooler and use a little less power than #2.
Between #2 and #3, it really depends on what you will be doing with them. They offer similar performance in general in games, but specific titles may prefer nVidia or ATi. If you want PhysX, you must choose nVidia. If you will be bitcoin mining, ATi is your only rational choice. The HD6850 also uses a little less power (only one PCIE power connector needed, vs. two for the GTX460).

Well, XFX does come with the lifetime warranty, I'll probably go with that. Thanks
