GTX680 Palit Jetstream or KFA2 EX OC

[Blackwhite]

I am looking for non reference GTX680 cad with 6 Phase power design.

Which one to choose?

I know that KFA2 has great service and warranty within the UK, but is it better?

Anybody with experience with KFA2 cards so far?

I still have KFA2 OC EX GTX 470, and I never had any problems with that card. I still keep it cuz I'm to lazy to sell it

But one day I have to do a big clearance cuz I'm running out of space with all of this boxes

Is it good clocker, or just average?

My one was quite good, I was getting performance nearly 480, but you know that with card is the same as with cpu, if you lucky your card will overclock like devil if you not than it will be just average(silicon lottery), for example for example my previous gtx580 matrix platinum was clocking only to about 925 on reasonable volts but if you I did push them a BIT more it was just about stable on 980(or maybe more, just dont remember), but was way to hot and I had to keep fans at 60%

So I had to sell it and now I got 100% silent watercooled 7970

Still have no idea what to buy

I love KFA2's easily cleanable fans, they just lift up and you can right in and clean out all the dust, then you just pop the fan back down and your good to go. Not sure if it's the same on the new non-reference GTX680 but this is a pic of the old GTX 460 just as an example:

KFA2 are a solid brand which should definitely be considered for your next GPU. EVGA are great brand to choose (especially due to their warranty), Zotac make solid cards, so too do Gainward, Palit etc... There's loads to choose from out there. I'd say have a look and see if you can find some reviews and choose the coolest and most quiet card out there that's within budget, you don't want to buy a card that turns out to be a super loud and annoying, especially one that costs as much as the 680, but i have faith in brands like KFA2, EVGA etc...

I have an EVGA reference now and unfortunately is buzzing under load.That why I want to but something non reference.

So far it is only one review of Palit jetstream, nothing about KFA2.

I need to send EVGA back under DSR- I have RMA issued ,but waiting as I need to choose something else, so I have no so much time to decide.
