Hey Everyone

I need some opinion on one of the 2 EVGA’s. Thinking of going in the NVIDIA route and see what it has to offer when it comes to gaming. Here are my choices:

I do quite of gaming, mainly COD2 / BF2. As for my Sig below will this handle one of the 2 or will it bottleneck the rig. Which one would you prefer for good gaming. As for the GTX a little costly atm. Thanks

I would go with the ACS3 model. For $10 more, you get a factory overclocked card (more than the other model), with a better cooler. Not that NVIDIA's reference cooler, isn't good enough, but for $10 more, I think it's worth it.

Why not the $260 model though? At $310-320, I'd just go with the 640 MB model for $340.

Either one you can probably overclock just as high. From the reviews I saw, the ACS3 model doesn't run any cooler.
