In an air-cooled system, how much extra performance can you squeeze out of a HD4850 or 4870? How much of a difference does the brand of the card make? I noticed the Palit 4850 (which I'm looking at getting) has a huge copper heat sink and fan on it. Would that make it more or less overclockable than other brands with the plastic cover and fan? If it's not as good, would it be worth it to spend a bit extra on another, more overclockable brand? What about the different brands of the 4870? Thanks.
