What is the best G92 8800GT? While browsing these forums, I heard someone mention that a certain company had better caps/more or better Power regulation which they claimed is a better overclocking card, anyone know anything about this? Is it just easier to grab the G92 8800GTS as it seems it has more caps/power phase for overclocking?

Galaxy has a custom PCB but I haven't seen many O/C results on it. It's simplified to 6 layers (vs 10) so perhaps it's actually worse. I was going to buy the BFG OC2 which comes in at 675 MHz stock, but ultimately got the 8800GTS 512 from XFX because I figured the heatsink was worth the $40ish price difference alone.

the galaxy is actually pretty nice. I'm severely cpu bottlenecked right now cause I'm stuck with the intel heatsink until I get the springs for my tuniq, but I overclocked them to 700 core/1750 shaders and 3dmark06 ran, though the score wasn't any better... Best part is the heatsink, the cards run cool, though the 93cfm fan I have pointed at them helps too... on load, they max out at around 68c with the fan at 75% and I'm not in a cold room by any means. their pcb might have less layers, but it has bettter power cicuitry, 3 phase, and it I heard it has a jumper to raise vcore ( I see a jumper, but I didn't try changing it yet... the card doesn't even come with a manual, and galaxy has a very sparse description of the card on their site). This card has potential though.
