I am going to get an 8800GTS. I have been looking at reviews and have found that all 8800s currently are exactly the same, made by NVIDIA itself. The only difference is the HSF sticker (and PCB color apparently) and the bundle. I don't care about the bundle or the warranty, since I will be taking it out out of US.

I have settled on either of these:

The last one is factory overclocked. I don't really care about that either, since I can oc my card when I need to.
However there is one thing that interests me. In one review, I saw that 'AN' eVGA card had a heatsink at the BACK of the card, to help cool the core further.

What I would like to know is; do all 8800GTS card have this HS at the back of the card? If not, do all eVGA card have this, or only some eVGA cards, like the OC'ed one? According to the images at newegg.com, neither seems to have it. I am confused.

If anyone knows, or has any of the cards I mentioned above, please let me know soon. And any other advice would be welcome too.

Thanks in advance...

Not all 8800GTS come with that HS, only the eVGA OC'd card. I would serioulsy invest in an eVGA card as the quality and lifetime guarantee are both top notch.

Thanks. But does the eVGA's EVGA 640-P2-N825-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SUPERCLOCKED, which is the last link in my first post have that heatsink? I want to confirm because newegg's images for that card has a top view of the back, and that photo does not show any back HS. Please let me know if the OC'ed card I mentioned has it. If it does then I will get that one.

Thanks
P.S. Thanks to Pr0d1gy too :D
