Palit GTX 460 2GB vs EVGA GTX 460 1GB vs ASUS ENGTX460 1GB?

Palit: http://www.palit.biz/main/vgapro.php?id=1354 and http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814261077

EVGA: http://www.evga.com/products/prodlist.asp (I don't know which EVGA GTX 460 1GB to choose - compare with the best one)

ASUS: http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=UATIvdWePp9oPSIk&templete=2 and http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121391&cm_re=ENGTX460-_-14-121-391-_-Product

The Palit one is definitely better on paper, but is it really stable and reliable?

Also which EVGA GTX 460 1GB is better? The superclocked ones? Can't I just buy a normal one and overclock it myself?

All answers to any of the question are appreciated

Personally, I would go with the evga: http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=01G-P3-1372-TR&family=GeForce 400 Series Family&sw=

That is a good card. here is an EE (external exhaust) if you are interested, and it comes with a lifetime warranty. http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=01G-P3-1373-AR&family=GeForce 400 Series Family&sw=

after reading the reviews on these cards, i would go for the either the

asus 1gb directCU - for the cooling and the huge overclockability
or

EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked 1024MB EE (External Exhaust) - for teh lifetime warranty + step up program

read this review for a good roundup from guru3d, though take into account that the asus directcu and as is the evga there is only the 768mb, the actual performance of the 1gb cards will be slightly higher

i'd also stick to staying away from the palit card seeing as how they dont ship the card with the mosfet cooler making the card a lot more likely to overheat and/or fail

ASUS. EVGA quality and warranty has definitely never impressed me (from first hand experience).
