Opinion: MSI O.C. GTX 660 vs. Asus GTX 660

[tyberz52]

what are your opinions on both of these cards, around $4 difference, so price is not a factor between them (had the AMD/ATI, not a fan of drivers not to start a war... and the 2 options i gave are both around $170). My other specs are:

Processor: Intel 2600k
Graphics: XFX 9800GT (had Radeon 5830 until the fan burnt out)
Ram: 8GB Gskill Sniper
Motherboard: MSI Z68A_GD65 (sli capable)
Power Supply: 1000 Watt (lesser brand, but rated well)

Thanks to all of you helpful people

MSI is $15 cheaper and comes w/a game .... Asus is generally quieter and cooler.

ASUS also comes with the same game coupon...

You cant go wrong with any of the two. However i'm not sure if the asus is triple slot card or not because if it is and you plan on going sli i would go for the msi due to it being a dual slot. If not, go with the cheaper one or the one you think has a better design. Personally i'd go with the asus

Looks like the weekend deal on the MSI card has ended, so the obvious choice is the ASUS. Unless you don't have a lot of room in your case - because that is one massive cooler. If not, then go for the cheaper Zotac - it's quiet, too.
