So I'm ready to purchase a 6850 and I have been eying both the new Sapphire Toxic and the PowerColor PCS+ one. Both the exact same price with the same overclocks. Now, I've always been a huge fan of the Sapphire Vapor-X/Toxic cards - beefy overclocks with dead silent cooling. But I'm not that impressed with this 6850 version. The heatsink looks a little small and the fan a little loud, and the few reviews I've read kind of hint at this. The PCS+ on the other hand seems to have a larger heatsink, and all the reviews tout how quiet it is. I'm just wondering the quality behind PowerColor though. I've never purchased one of their cards and they seem like a smaller company with middling user reviews.
Thanks.
(I realize that the PCS+ doesn't allow for voltage modding and I don't have a problem with this. I'm not sure I'd even oc beyond the stock of these two)
