Trying to decide which 4870 1gb card to get from Newegg. I heard good things about PowerColor (Manufacture OC to 800 Mhz and runs cool), but I also heard that they recently changed to a newer, cheaper (runs hotter) design. Any suggestions?
I doubt there's a difference. I would say go for the cheaper one. If the other one cost 10 - 20 bucks more for a 30 mhz OC, I'd just buy the cheaper one and OC it to that state myself. The only ones that you would actually pay more for are the ones that run at 800mhz core clock since CCC only allows up to 790mhz for OC.
