Which hd 6850?

[k11365]

I need help deciding on which 6850 card seems to be the fit for me.
As of now, I have my eyes set on these:
MSI R6850 Cyclone 1GD5 PE/OC
VTX3D VX6850 X-Edition
Sapphire HD6850
Asus HD6850

If there are better ones, do list them. I am going with the 6850 card because I want to crossfire in the future, and this card supports one six pin power. Also someone please tell me why Asus card has 2 six pin.

I do plan on overclocking, but I do not want to make it a primary factor. If the card overclocks well, then good. If not, I'll just OC a little. With that said, my primary concern would be low power consumption and low noise. Plus, I would prefer a company that has useful software tools for the card.

There are a few different ASUS cards out there but since you didn't put a model I don't know which one you are talking about. The regular CU has a PCB that is capable of two 6-pin connectors, but only has one installed. Another version of the same card needs two connectors, and that probably helps when overclocking if you raise the voltage.

Yeah, I've seen the one with one connector and the other with two connectors. I want opinion(s) on which is the best, and the reason(s) for thinking so.
