whats your budget? palit makes great cards, I myself prefer asus or msi but thats more personal prefrence as i've used these brands myself with no problems ;all the palit custom pcb designs and coolers seem to be good quality and will likely be just as good

thanks
but didnt they upgrade the cooler.
was that becuase of problems, i believe it also has a poor warenty too.

no, the sonic edition i assume you are talkign abotu is this

its a non-refrence card/cooler with a 2 year warrenty, i have no experience with thier warrenty/rma process btu i've also never heard anythign bad beyond when people admit to heavily overclocking and it not being covered (no manifacturer does or should cover that)

same price before rebate and 10 more after, i like this one better

but either one will work fine. as said palit makes good card from what i've heard .. i just like the direct cu coolers
