Which 5850 should I get

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 

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".

Forgot to put that I'm going to buy from newegg as I have a couple of giftcards that I can use.

Can anyone just give me a suggestion on those three cards... I'm not asking for help on buying another DirectCu lol
