Save yourself $100 and buy the GTX 285 SC version at $350. Dont spent $450 on the FTW version, you can just use the EVGA Precision software and OC it to FTW clocks yourself in about 5 seconds, like I have. There is another forum member here that also bought a cheaper factory OC model and OCed it to well past the highest factory OC model sold, and saved himself a $100.
