So, I broke my 9600GSO 
Now I need to replace it. I'm looking to spend relatively little, since I only paid $34 for the 9600GSO. Of course, I don't want to take a step back either (after an OC, that card was a beast).
I saw that the HD4830 is widely available for between $90 and $100. The results gotten here are pretty amazing, and make me want to pick up the Sapphire card. Of course, I figured I should look into other versions of the card.
I already have an Accelero S1 Rev. 2 and the Turbo module so I'm not concerned with the aftermarket cooling included on the card.
Which HD4830 card will let me do a volt mod by pencil or bios flash and let me oc the most? Any recommendations for other series of cards?
