    They're both the same, but theoretically the VisionTek is better because of the overclock. However, I think it is a waste to spend the extra money on that when you could buy the Diamond and overclock it by yourself for free.

    Overclocking an HD3850 currently has to be done using an nvidia tool such as rivatuner. It's quite simple to do.
    As for which GPU, I think Diamond is probably a better brand than VisionTek.
