:hello:
I'm looking to get a graphics card for my new i7 build, and have decided that the GTX 260 is the best version for me. I want to get the best model (Evga seems pretty good) For the best price (definitely a 216). I was thinking I'll just go with this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130448
because I know how to overclock, so I can just increase speeds through bios.
However this SC (Super Clocked) version of this card is $20 less, but I heard on some forum that SC cards are just SSC (Super Super Clocked) cards that failed to meet speeds. Is this true?
So, what are your thoughts? :D

I bought the vanilla EVGA GTX260 Core 216 and haven't had any issues overclocking to the SC speeds, or crushing framerates in every game.

Yeah, that's what I wanna get. I think I can get one for 180$ on ZipZoomFly.com. (Just in case you wanna SLI :wahoo: )
