Was looking at the Leadtek 7800gtx (430/1200) for $500 or the XFX 7800gtx (490/1300) for $550. I have never overclocked before, but coolbits looks pretty straightforward so I was wondering if the Leadtek will OC just as well as the XFX without any problems. From what I've gathered so far, it seems like Leadtek makes quality products, though I have never owned one for myself. Just looking for more input.

Thanks,

There are only two choices. eVGA and eVGA. (BFG too)

I have 2 Leadteks in SLI, there is an updated BIOS in the Leadtek website that overclock the boards to 450/1250. They are pretty stable too. I'm very happy with them.

"Pretty stable"? At less than other cards' factory overclocks?
