evga classified 980 vs msi twin frost V

[hunkeelin]

I don't owe the evga 980 classified. It is 150usd more expensive compare to msi. "You get what you pay for". What's so special about the evga's card?

For my msi 980 I have no problem OCing to 1550mhz when I turn up the power limit and overvolt to + 87mv.

The Classified usually has a more robust power phase setup to handle more extreme overclocking. Other than that I can't see anything special.

^ what do you mean? the evga can get to 1600mhz?

It may have a higehr TDP limit, able to overvolt more so potentially yes, but that's not worth the cost to me.
