Which VC is better?

[Thaset]

Hello all!!!! I am on my last stage of buying my rig and would love some imput as to which of these is better. Thanks in advance!!


MSI N460GTX CYCLONE 1GD5/OC GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

EVGA 01G-P3-1373-AR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) Superclocked EE 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support ...

Thoughts??

EVGA for Clocks, Rep, Warranty, Rep, Resale Value and lastly Rep... It'll also vent the hot our OUT of your case, not recycle it.

That MSI Cyclone has a very nice HSF on it. That is a great card for OC and/or low noise. The EVGA is a good fast card, but I have heard it is loud.

Both comments above are correct: EVGA has the rep and the external exhaust, MSI has the quieter cooler with lower card temps (and higher case temps). But both of those cards are too expensive. You shouldn't be paying over $200 before rebate for a GTX460.

Consider this card instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814162055. At $155 after rebate, it will perform almost identically to the cards you picked.

If you want to spend $200, you can get a much better card than a GTX460, like this HD5850 for $180AR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121375

I've been wanting this card ever since i saw it. I'm hoping they'll have a 560 version

I've been reading your posts on VGAs lately and have been scratching my head. Didn't you actually buy two of these sparkle cards? Here's your thread from last week: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?p=31012865&highlight=#post31012865. Here's what you said: "I appreciate the Amd suggestions but i'm done with them and there terrible drivers. I just picked up a pair of them for 350.. 'I had a 50 dollar newegg gift card'. Can't wait to see what they can do in SLI with Sandy Bridge".

So how'd you end up with an HD6870 in your sig rig?

Cancelled the 460's, picked up the 6870 from a friend who i low balled on it. Might be getting my hands on a pair of 5870 reference's which i'll then turn and sell to buy a pair of 560's

Oh man...

@OP if you have a problem with loud cards don't get the EE edition, other than that it's a great card.
