Just wondering about the difference between the OC and stock versions of the various cards. In this specific case I am thinking of Palits Sonic vs Sonic Platinum GTX460.
The Platinum looks to be a great card and OCs beyond what it is set to for sale. M question is, is there actually any difference in design between the stock card and the OC one? Is the cooler the same?
Essentially, what I am trying to figure out is: If you buy the stock version can it reach the same Overclocking lvls as an Overclocked card which then gets Overclocked more (pending luck, I know not every card will OC as well as another), or is there some design difference that is not obvious at first glance?
