GTX 260 Core 216 SSC Edition
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130443
I recently started planning on a build for a Q9550 on Gigabyte UD3R in an Antec 900.
Is the price difference worth it? Its only a 16 dollar difference for a significant overclock. Does anyone know EVGA's policy on covering their OC'd stuff like this? As a concern, their forums have a significant number of complaints about the SSC edition causing artifacts and running pretty hot overall. They said they had to lower the speeds a little bit, which probably wouldn't be too hard. How much can I plan to OC the standard edition without putting my card at risk using the cooler included with the card?
Also, anyone else hear about any problems with either of these cards? Thanks!
