which one overclock higher?

Can't answer that this is silicon lottery and no card is the same...usualy the higher models are somewhat highe binned chips but it is not necessarily the case...cross your finger and get the card within your budget that has the feature you want the most...better cooler on the card will allow for cooler temps and will increase the chances of reaching high overclocks...in that regard the Tri-X is on top
