    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.

    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)

    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.

    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 :wallbash:
