Which card to choose?

[guitarguy84]

I want to get a new GFX card soon and I am trying to choose between the latest evga 9800gtx+ which uses ONE 6-PIN POWER CONNECTOR

or the previous version of the 9800 GTX + with TWO 6 PIN POWER CONNECTORS


They are about the same price, the specs are almost identical, and I know most people think right away, "get the one the requires less connectors" but I am wondering if the one with 2 power connectors could have more overclocking headroom. Any thoughts are welcome

The second 6-pin connector may be to allow overclocking juice for the card.
I can't really tell you which is better.

i think evong is right. My GTX+SC have 2 6pin. If you can have it for quite low price just buy it, its a nice card.

BUT look at this ...

220$ for a 260, or 235$ for a 260SC. seems nice to me !
