upon seeing other benchmarks, is the $30 not worth it for 3-10 framerates?
even with more ram (3850 - 256mb GDDR3, 3870 - 512mb GDDR4) the $30 is still not worth it?
is visiontek a trusted brand?
i dont usually overclock, i only do when i am bored, or when my room is cool.
these arent the cards i am planning to get, but which heatsink and fan is better?

i have 7 case fans btw.
2 on the side, 2 on the top, 1 in the back, 1 on the bottom, and 1 on the front.
i dont vacuum my computer much either, only about 2 times a year.
and more information on helping me decide, i play on 1650x1050 resolution, and i try to turn on AA, and multisampling whenever i can, if i lag, then i turn them off.
I also plan on Crossfiring it later on. Most likely when i get another 2gb of ram to help run vista, and a new power supply with 600w, then i will get another card, and that'll probably be around next year.
i cant get a job since i will be going to college, and getting financial aid, and if i have a job, i cant have financial aid to help pay for college.
thanks in advance
