Nvidia 295 versions?

I am about to pull the trigger on a new I7 system and have come to the video card choice. I am leaning towards a Nvidia 295 as I don't feel like going SLI, but am trying to decide if I should wait to see if an overclocked version of the 295 is likely soon. The 285 came out after the 295, but there are already several overclocked versions of it.

Is a factory 295 OC likely?

It hasn't been announced yet on EVGA's site and the overclock itself is pretty weak. If you want to overclock I'd just go with XFX or EVGA and OC yourself.

Most reviews show pretty good results, around the same you might expect from 65nm GT200s, although that comes with more heat and a louder fan. My guess is there's just not going to be many OC variants of this part as its a low volume/demand part made only to recapture the performance crown.

If you don't want to overclock yourself, or you want a guaranteed OC level, with an i7 you might be better off going with GTX 260 c216s or even GTX 280s for cheap and that'd be around the same price.
