Which 4870x2 to get?

[laggedreaction]

Well, it looks like there are quit a few brands offering up their own 4870x2s. Now, I just need to pick one.

Looks like the MSI comes with the highest default clock, but does that really even matter? Are the memory chips any faster on that card or are we just talking about a simple config setting? The other cards any more or less capable of overclocking?

VisionTek.

You can never go wrong with their customer service and warranty.

So, does the Visiontek actually have better memory chips, overclock higher, or stay cooler?

Or, is the main reason to get it because of their customer service?

As far as I know, ALL 4870X2s are reference design so it really doesn't matter performance-wise which one you get. Visiontek is great because of its warranty.
