Stock 670 for £210 or factory OC 760 for £185?

[gheed]

I have 2 final options for my new build's graphics card, either a Gainward 670 (which is completely stock afaik) for £210 or a KFA2 760 EX OC for £185 which has a very mild factory overclock.

However, I will likely overclock anyway and the KFA2 cooler seems superior to the stock 670 one. Would I be able to get enough performance due to this which would make the £25 extra for the 670 not worth it?

Go with the 670, its a better card even stock. More shaders more texture units... I would go with the 670.

I was a bit impatient and went for the KFA2 760... Think I'll be happy enough with it though!

Differences are around 5% so it would be hard to notice it

The KFA2 for sure looks bonkers

Unfortunately it seems the shroud will be different for retail

Which does look better with those black fans.

Yeah, the updated cooler doesn't look quite as sleek as the 6xx version but hopefully still gets really nice temps like in the review. Better than the stock 670 I'd assume which was the main reason I chose it due to building a mini ITX system.
