Seems like a fairly decent speed upgrade from my GTX285, currently Im looking at the Palit model which shows a non reference dual fan cooling on their website, gotta confirm it with the retailer first.

I've back read a few pages and it seems that lower stock VID = higher possible clocks, I havent been able to narrow down the average overclock.. Would it be around 900-950core ?
I'd go with MSI brand if available. Next probably EVGA. 900-950 is pretty much guaranteed. A lower VID will help just as much as would on a CPU.
