I went to purchase this card
http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/product_index.aspx?pid=2040&lid=1

But that card was not available in the market so I bought this card
http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1226&pid=2071&psn=&lid=1&leg=0

And according to the sellers the above card cost more, & I can make the card I purchased same by OCing.

Are they different? I mean If I overclock the card I bought, will it be same.

No worries.

The MSI AfterBurner utility should help you reach your goal.

Wisecracker :

Yes I also bought it considering two things.

1. Its low cost
2. I can overclock it to match that card using the sapphire OC application trixx.

But what about the cooler? The card I bought have no copper pipe, and the heat sink is also small.
Please make some comment on that. Thank you

I just don't see it being an issue.

Yes -- it could effect a MAX over-clock but the 260X is built upon the Bonaire chip with newer high-speed DDR5 RAM. On average it will likely run 85w or so with the clock at 1200MHz and your RAMs pushing 1700MHz+

In a well ventilated cabinet you should have no concerns -- if you are worried simply zip-tie a secondary fan to blow air at it.

So you are saying I did correct by selecting the cheap one and by not selecting the one with copper pipes and more factory overclocked???

You should be able to exceed the clocks of the factory OC card without issue.

I agree with Wisecracker. Heat would be the limitation here. I'm sure in some of the software provided it allows you to monitor the temperature of the card no? If so go ahead and bump it the extra 100 MHz and just make sure the card isn't running much hotter than 70C.
