Well at least do yourself a favor and look at the reviews with recet driverup dates. Many of the reviews were clearly flawed with less than up to date drivers. Yes you can blame ATI for a driver release a few days before launch but at least point out the fact the drivers you tested with are not up to date.

It is an easy choice if you are watercooling though. With WC and a good OC there is no compitition look for ViperJoh's review. He said it was faster than anything but a modded watercooled Ultra GTX.

One thing to note the core on the ATI is of set so some of the older sinks wont fit.
