I'm trying to choose between these two: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131010

Alright, I was hoping to opt for an EVGA, BFG, or XFX 6800 GS, but they're impossible to find now (due to short supply), let alone find them at a sub 200 price. I don't really know if PNY is a reputable company. Perhaps someone here might know. Powercolor seems to have recently enacted a lifetime warranty for cards after January 24th. Though, I don't know if it applies to their older cards, too.
Moving on. I was comparing these two X800 GTOs on Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102608
and

As you can see, the Powercolor model has a 475 mhz core clock and 900 mhz memory clock and the Sapphire has 400/980. Now, I'm wanting to know if the Powercolor model is running on the superior RV420 core as opposed to the typical RV430 cores used in the X800 GTOs, such as the Sapphire I listed.
If it does happen to be the RV420 core, that'll really make it a hard decision between the Powercolor X800 GTO and the PNY 6800 GS. If it does happen to be the RV420 core, how much of an overclock do you think I can get out of it (core and memory-wise). I've already recieved the instructions on how to flash the bios of even the RV430 core GTOs (apparently it can be done now; I've seen someone on this board do it).
I know that's alot of questions, though, I'll take any answers I can get at the moment.
