Which 5850 should I get
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I'm thinking of buying another 5850 graphics card to go crossfire and have narrowed the choices down to 3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submi...|14-102-881^14-102-881-TS%2C14-161-332^14-161-332-TS%2C14-125-318^14-125-318-TS
I currently have an ASUS DirectCUTOP 5850. I'm planning to overclock/overvolt the second. (to around 950mhz)
Is there any advantages of one over the other? Also what tools should I use to overvolt them?

More about : 5850
except they are all sold out ![:p]( ":p")
None of them can be overvolted? No tools at all eh T.T Well I guess I can flash the bios for that I guess.
But between those three which would be better? I guess the HIS would be the cheapest as I can sell off the mw2 coupon for 40 or so. However performance and overclockability wise which would be better?

The DirectCu is not sold out, its just a few stores that have been slammed lately with DirectCU orders.
Here is a link to a few stores that still have stock, you can also get up to a 40.00$ discount if you choose the "Bing" cash back :

If you want to over-volt out of the box the only 2 choices you have is the DirectCU and the MSI "Twin Frozr".

IMHO: I'd get a XFX Radeon HD 5850 1024MB DDR5 PCI-e x16. Get the "ZAFC" Model, as a reference model, it should have "voltage control." I know you overclock through the ATI Catalyst software. Easy as pie!
THe XXX model if you can afford it, but I didn't see it there either.
XFX offers a double lifetime warranty (meaning if you sell it, they are covered too).

Newegg brought back the DirectCU a few days ago. But they are again out of stock. Atleast they are not listed as unavailable.
