GTX 260 216 vs GTX 260 Superclocked

[Howie]

You can get a GTX 260 216 for about the same money as a faster clocked GTX 260. The reviews of the GTX 260 216 say it's about 5-15% faster than the old GTX 260. But what about the superclocked GTX 260? Same performance?

If you can get them the same price, get the 216 and OC it yourself. Even better

Seconded.

I just got the 260 GTX SC last night and was curious and went online to see about the 90 day up program and I could the standard 260 gtx 216 for a wash.

It has a lower core, but as you noted the higher streams.

I plan of OCing, but do you think with the ~20+ differences in core lost, would you still go with the 216?

It seems some games take advantage of faster cores while some take advantage of more shaders. I'm really tempted to just go with the old vanilla 260 since the price is so good.
