Which one is cheaper? which one comes with the best games bundled?

 

[Sean1234]

OK they both have a one year warranty. The Force 3D is 180$ and the HIS is 200$.

Where are you buying these from, what country and what website?

I'll see if I can get a HD 4870 for a reasonable price. My uncle can get just about anything for a good price. 9 Rand= 1 USD. Sometimes rand gets stronger or weaker. It is Africa unfornutaley.

the HIS
For the same price, it's no contest. The HIS has a far better cooling solution than the stock one. You can directly compare the LOAD and IDLE temperatures here. This would also allow for some overclocking. It's very likely there's a significant noise difference too.

HIS under load is 58C
Force3D under load is 90C

Nope, no choice at all.
