Heya there, I have to choose between these two cards (dont ask why) :) 

1. ASUS EAH6850 DC/2DIS/1GD5/V2
2. ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5

I`m not that interested in raw performance, im looking for silence and less heat/power consumption.
What are your experiences on these cards?
Im also interested can i undervolt any of theese cards over Asus software and reduce their RPM in 2D apps?
I also saw that this 6850 V2 has 2 pcie psu connectors, thats one more than the first edition of that card - why is that? Does it need more power, is it hotter than original "v1"???
Thanx alot.

A reference (stock) HD 6850 uses a lot less power, is a little hotter, and is a little quieter.








Both are basically equal in performance, they lose to each other in different games by a small margin. See following review:
