Xfx Alpha Dog verus eVGA SSC or KO

[mikeman69]

Any difference? or just different company with different name?
The XfX alpha dog XXX edition has the same specs as a KO
none match the SSC

words of wisdom from anyone?

Get the standard GT from a company of your choice and overclock it. Cheaper for the same performance.

Get whatever is cheapest and OC it yourself. It's honestly not that hard to do, and these cards can take a good amount of OCing.

Will that void the warranty?

Or will they not know?

 

[pchoi04]

They wont know... Plus XFX and EVGA, overclocking is covered under warranty.

i think the more expensive cards are factory overclocked so you are parting some of yur good money for them to do what you can do yourself...

I got the eVGA GT SC 650/1900. I'm running it now at SSC clocks (698/2000)
My picks were between the eVga or the XFX
evga SSC factory o'cd @ 700
XFX XXX factory o'cd @ 670
I read somewhere XFX didn't trust anything over that (warranty issues?)

I can tell you now that EVGA does support overclocking.It oc's their own videocards,and their motherboards have very good oc'ing potential.Their customer support will help in the overclocking of your system as long as it's EVGA board and vid card.Although this is not a well advertised part of their warranties,they do help with memory timings and what not.I have an EVGA mainboard for S-939,and a X2 4400+.put that with crucial ballistix ddr500,and a decent PSU,and you have the makings for a good overclocker.I was able to achieve 2.9ghz with my 4400+,on water cooling.I'd say that was a decent oc on a cpu that was said to be a poor overclocker.
