now should i wait for it to come back in stock cause i hear they have better coolers and hand selected chips but the memory clock is 900 mhz where there are others for the same price with faster like these 2 (3600 mhz memory clock)

so i dont know if i should go for one with the high memory clock or not it SEEMS like a huge increase 3.6ghz to 900 mhz but there is one with a 1800 mhz memory clock but what also CONFUSES me is some sayd for the memory clock 900mhz, 3.6gbps

what one do you think i should get out of all of those? or wait for them to come in stock? thanks!! It's a 900MHz REAL clock, 3600Mhz effective because it's GDDR5.  So, they're the same speed.
I'd wait for the Dark Knight card though myself - good things are worth waiting for, IMO.here is a comparision list of 7 cards

the powercolors memory clock says 925mhz, (3.7 gbps)
would that make a huge difference? the extra 100 mhz?
and thanks calumA small extra memory clock will affect performance slightly, but not all that much.
You can always overclock it yourself.ok ok how MUCH better is the dark night card? how much better is the COOLER and stuff?I can't measure it, I don't have one.
I just know it's better.
Try a GOOGLE, for something like "Dark Knight 4870 temps" and compare them to a stock cooler's temps.couldnt find anything o well ill get it
