Sapphire or MSI

Clearly the MSI:

- Twin Frozr Cooling Tech, one of the best in the industry.
- Near silent operation.
- Comes factory overclocked.
- Afterburner Overclocking Software for further overclocking if needed.
- Also gives you the option to switch between three operating modes on single click - 933MHz Core (Boost Clock:1000MHz) (OC mode), 933MHz Core (Boost Clock:972MHz) (Gaming mode), 933MHz Core (Boost Clock:933MHz) (Silent mode)
