I've seen a few threads on this in the past but now I find myself unable to decide between the two. The XT seems to be the better value card, comming in at about $45 less than the XTX.
My questions are thus:
1.) Which overclocks better? The XT or XTX?
2.) Does it even matter which I should get when you consider processor speed? I'm currently running x2 3800s at about 4400 speeds. I'm wondering about processor bottlenecking because these cards are such beasts..
3.) Cooling. If I do decide to got with the cheaper XT and OCing it, I'm assuming I should get a zalman kit for it..but then the prices is right back up in the same area as the XTX..worth it?
