Kinda matters how you will be using it, if you're just a basic user, want to do some entry-level OC etc or if you're going for more extreme stuff. | ||

It'd be either the HOF or the G1 AFAIK Kinda matters how you will be using it, if you're just a basic user, want to do some entry-level OC etc or if you're going for more extreme stuff. Well I'm curious about the fastest model out of the box, ofc I will probably do some overclocking later, but im just curious which one is fastest out of the box, without any additional tuning | ||

Out of the box performance isn't good for comparison though unless you're not educated about tweaking hardware and don't want to learn. There's very little if any binning, so one being clocked higher at stock doesn't actually neccesarily mean that it's a better card or GPU. The differences model to model are also usually pretty small, like one might run 40mhz faster for example.. but if you look at OC headroom, the MSI 970 is ~1300mhz out of the box but hits 1550 regularly The features that you pay huge amounts extras for with some of the graphics card models often do not differentiate them at all at stock (or even at normal overclocks) | ||

Since I live in Bulgaria, and we don't have the HOF here, what would be the second best ? Also what model of them all has the highest OC potential ? | ||

hof is the max OC card (but it's not neccesarily better on air.. as long as you have one of the best cards with samsung memory, silicon lottery affects performance more for a regular air OC) | ||
