Video Card Cooling Question

[Razersoda]

Hello, I have a question about cooling for these video cards:
SAPPHIRE HD7870 2GB GDDR5 PCIE16 11199-00-20G
SAPPHIRE HD7870 2GB GDDR5/OC PCIE16 11199-03-20G

Do they have a decent/good/bad cooling, are they worth getting?

I do understand that they are the same, one OC'ed, here comes the second question:
Is it worth buying the OC'ed one? Only costs 14 € more (discounted, usually 45 € more).

Thanks, Razersoda. 🙂

I would buy the cheaper one. They share the same cooler/pcb at first glance. And yes it's a good cooler/video card.
It's common for the AIB vendors to put multiple models out of the same gpu to bring more attention to the offerings.
For a 50mhz core o/c, small memory o/c, there is almost no performance difference between the 2 cards.
