OK go with the msi gtx 680

MSI IS A GREAT GPU BRAND it makes quality products

and has 3 years warranty + it comes with 2 free games

you can choose msi without a doubt

Did you mean the 670? I might go with MSI, what are the pros of going with the Zotac one?

 

[ultrakill]

yes i meant the MSI 670 GTX


nothing against zotac but its not a high quality gpu brand + i think theyre warranty is just 2 years

 

[spentshells]

MSI models like that will allow for voltage control, Go with MSI

 

[seacucumber3000]

Alright. I think I'll go with MSI.

I think if you can hold off it would be better waiting for a 770 in a few months..When people buying the 600 series and see the 700 specs alot of people will try to sell they card which i think its a waste and have buyers remorse

Forget MSI, go with Gigabyte or Asus:

I wish I had enough to buy the Asus. It's a real nice looking card. And for the Gigabyte, it's the complete opposite. I want a good looking card. The Gigabyte 670 is anything but that.

 

[spentshells]

cucumber the gigabyte card would be a lot quieter

I've never had any trouble at all with MSI. Infact an MSI motherboard and graphics card I bought 10 years ago are still running.

why do you need a good looking card i mean it will be hiden all the time in the case

better look for the quality ang the warranty of the cards that is the important thing

Exactly, unless you have the money to sexy up your rig, just go for performance and warranty coverage.

Maybe, I'm just kind of OCD about looks. What makes the Gigabyte one higher quality over the MSI? By the way, I'm looking at a different MSI: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-n670pe2gd5oc (and maybe painting it red)

I wonder why i'm mentioned, probably on the section of the homebuilts i recommended a gigabyte 670 gtx, in which has nothing wrong with it, the gigabyte windforce 2x is at the same price as the reference cards, it's not hard to recommend the gigbayte one, substance over style.

What is your budget anyway? You can always wait till the Kepler refresh, just save up for a couple months and buy a fast card that looks smexy.

The difference between the cards will be negligible, I went with Asus because their products are good and their warranty coverage.
