HIS vs VTX3D Radeon HD 6850

I'd just check warranties, but as far as I know they should be about the same.

EDIT: going off the pictures, it seems that both cards have center mounted fans which means heat will be exhausted within and out the case. I would venture a guess that the his will dispell more heat out the case, but the egg cooler of the vtx3d might be quieter.
However I do stand to be corrected..

Accessories
# DVI Dongle
# Manual

i would go with HIS
 
The extra accessories the HIS card has will just be collecting dust. My main concern is cooling, I would like to do some overclocking. But I can't find any concrete information.
 
I would imagine neither card boasts better cooling, just pick one and run with it.

If you are looking to overclock look at brand that has a different cooler on it but it will cost more so the cost won't be worth it.
 
Personally I wouldn't OC either :p but I doubt you'll notice much difference between the two. Have you googled the extent to which people have OC'd these 2 particular cards?
 
I'm not afraid of overclocking, although so far I've avoided touching voltages. I couldn't find anything to compare the cards properly which is why I asked here.
Well I suppose I'll just save a few bucks and get the VTX3D one. Less accessories mean less junk for me.
 
Let us know how it goes, stock temps and then OC temps at idle and load :) be the first to give people some reference :)
