This is better than the EVGA and i have used Msi twin forzr cards before and they are so quiet. It will also run cooler than the EVGA.
I recently bought a new graphics card on sale and regret not buying the another Msi twin frozr as i can now hear my card.



so i shouldn't get the msi or evga (why not)? but i should get the gigabyte one instead (why is is because there is more fans/coolers on the gigabyte card??????
 


yes, it offers way better cooling/quieter, but also it comes factory overclocking. Stock card typically are slower/louder/and hotter.
 


by factory overclocking do you mean it would better for overclocking? (as i will be doing light overclocking to reach around 4.00Ghz-my cpu is intel i5 4670k is at around 3.6ghz when at default). And so its not worth saving £20 as the original msi gpu i found wouldn't be as good (it would be louder, hotter, not as fast as the one you found)

by running cooler does this mean that overclocking would be less risky and easier or can't this gpu be overclocked?
 


no, it is overclocked IN THE FACTORY by the manufacturers. That means, core clock and boost clock is higher.
BTW 4.00ghz refers to cpu's; gpu's work in mhz,like 7010mhz boost, 6960mhz core.(example)
 
Yes as SethS says it is already overclocked. This takes all the risk out of it as the factory overclock will be covered by the warranty. If you buy a non overclocked version and overclock it yourself you will void the warranty:)
 


ok thanks
 


ok thank you for all the help much appreciated.
