Should I buy the superclocked at 1072 core clock speed for $20 more than the regular which is only 980 on it's core clock? Also plan on doing SLI with the card in the future when I have the money, so will the $40 be worth the speed or will I be able to make up for it with manual over clocking?

Also the regular doesn't have the acx fan, will that be a big variable in the value too? Is it loud without?

It's worth the cooler, you could just overclock it yourself. But that would cost you your warranty. So go with the factory overclocked one.

OCing doesn't blow your EVGA warranty. The warranty is valid so long a the card is fine physically to my knowledge (from reading on the EVGA forums). EVGA supports OCing, and even have their own tool for it (Precision X).

The ACX coolers work pretty good. I've got 2x EVGA 760 SC w/ACX that I've OC'd again that usually top out around 70-75C in SLI while gaming.

Never say it's not broken. Everything is broken. Why? Because everything needs MOAR POWA!

When it comes to 760s, the MSi Gaming just makes more sense as it's among the cheapest, its memory just goes on and on for overclocking and the cooler is super silent. That said, the EVGA ACX is pretty good too.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.
