noticing it's a trend between evga and bfgtech to release factory overclocked models of their video cards.

i know that bfg tech's overclocked cards use dangerden watercooling blocks (i've been reading WAY too much into this) so obviously you'd have to have a watercooled system for this to appeal to you, but the evga cards seem to be identical, besides of course slightly faster memory and clock speeds

is it worth it to spend the extra cash to get a card that's warranteed against defects with the higher clock? or is it pretty reasonable to get the same level of overclocked performance for free at home?

thanks a lot

I don't really see how they know if you're overclocked or not as I've heard of(and had) cards give me the same problems as an over-overclocked card at stock speeds. But, there's probably some way they know...

I wouldn't pay extra for an overclocked card. However, I would just for the better cooling options.
