But seems their stock heatsinks are not as good as that of Leadtek, right? I wouldn't wanna spend extra $$$ for a heatsink. Thanks!

Oh yeah, Leadtek...hands down.

Leadtek

I"m confused. Which one is the best? Is there any poll for this?

they will all oc about the same. oc is really based more on the chip itself which is luck fo the draw. leadtek might give you a couple mhz more, but nothing dramatic. now if you plan to watercool or phase chage the card, we can go into how each comapny's capacitor quality is and v core stability, but generally, buy any brand. The leadtek might oc around 2-5mhz better max.

Thank you, mwmorph. I'm not really following the computer hardware nowadays. Is this kind of OC a soft-mod or gonna need flash the "bios"?

?

Evga with their normal looking cooling is as good as Leadtek with their monster cooler. But both are good buys then it come to the price.

ocing requires you t download this:

and then go to drivers and set clock speeds to a faster rate while testing it fro artifacting. it's actually really simple, just time consuming.
