Considering sheer performance in gaming and effective cooling, the Aquatank by Asus stands tall. The scores revealed that it was the sure shot 'Best Performance' award winner in the high-end segment. The card is factory overclocked, while the water cooling companion helps keep the beast cool. It runs on a 384-bit bus width, GDDR 3 memory-overclocked at 1030 MHZ. The card performs excellently in all games even at high resolutions (take a look at the scores chart).

The Aquatank is specially designed for enthusiasts, but at its price, one could easily avail two XFX 8800 GT Alpha Dog Edition cards, the winner of the 'Best Value' award in the same category. The two cards would cost much cheaper and still save a whopping Rs 12,000, while having a higher performance in SLI leaving the Aquatank behind in cost and performance. But yes, cooling both the cards would be a matter of concern, as you may have to install additional fans for your chassis.

FOR: Efficient cooling using water.

AGAINST: Too expensive, uses the space of two double slots.
