I have an MSI GTX560Ti with that cooler and its awesome (in a well ventilated case that is) otherwise the EVGA use a rear exhaust fan which can be of help in cramped cases.
Not very constructive now is it Unicorn? Not a great title i will give you that but he didnt come on here to learn how to word a title.
Definatly the MSI imo... better cooler however EVGA does offer life time warrenty... but lets be honest who has a graphics card for that long?
The question is if the company will last a life time... I am looking at you BFG. Shame, they were good cards and had preaty good after sale service. No call to India, and everyone was relax and flexible, when I called to get my GTX 260 serviced (fan sensor broke, but since then my GTX 260 is holding very strong)
i did but when i swllected the option for 2 answers and continued it went as a normal post and when i tried to delete the thread and repost i couldn't
the case i am looking at is the Coolermaster HAF X, so would a rear venting fan like the evga be better or would the MSI be more than ample?
@t4n6o: with that case where you have more holes than raw material it really doesn't matter which one you use, both will get plenty of airflow.
the MSI is cheaper than the EVGA by about £50 and as i understand however the clock speeds on the EVGA ar better exept for the memory clock:- MSI / EVGA Manufacturing process 40 nm 40 nm Cores 480 480 Core Clock 770 MHz 822 MHz Shader Clock 1540 MHz 1645 MHz Memory 1280MB 1280MB Memory Bit Rate 320 Bit 320 Bit Memory Type GDDR5 GDDR5 Memory Clock 4000 MHz 3902 MHz Cooling Dual Fan Fan Interface PCIe 2.0 (x16) PCIe 2.0 (x16) Connectivity 2 x Dual Link DVI-I,1 x mini HDMI1 x DisplayPort, 2 x Dual Link DVI-I, 1 x HDMI SLI YES YES SLI Type 3 Way 3 Way HDCP Ready Width Dual Slot Dual Slot CrossFire NO NO Crossfire Type Low Profile Compatible NO NO Low Profile Support Package Type Retail Retail Maximum GPU Power 219W 219W Maximum GPU Temperature 97 °C 97 °C
I'd also go for the MSI. The GPU clock is higher on the EVGA model; however, with that excellent cooler on the MSI model, you'll be able to clock yours higher and remain cooler, regardless of what case it lives in.
both are gtx 570. just different packaging. it's like asking which bottled water to get, end of the day, it's still water, just different packaging.
I absolutely disagree with you matey. Yes, the GPU is the same but that's where it ends. The EVGA is a non-reference PCB and cooler but resembling stock, MSI is non reference PCB and much improved cooler... not to mention the difference in factory frequencies present in both cards.. ..and it matters because whether overclocking or not, you'll achieve different results from each card be it performance or noise levels - with the MSI running cooler and quieter... so nothing like bottled water really is it
