Which one would you buy, saying that the MSI one is 40 euro cheaper ( 310 instead of 350 euros ).

From what I've read, both cards perform almost identically, so is their noise level and heat level. Is the 40 euro's worth the name Asus?

PS: I'm currently on PCI-E 2.0, so I won't have full power from these cards I know, but I'm planning on upgrading Mobo+CPU ( Asus M4N98TD-EVO and Phenom X4 955 ) later on.

These are the exact ones I'm talking about:

If both perform almost the same. Then it comes down to taste. I would prefer the MSI version simply because blue is my favorite color and it's a tad cheaper. But I'm getting the ASUS version perhaps later this year.

But I don't know for sure. Only for the price I would get a 660Ti, other than that. A 670 is looking like a better choice just wish it was cheaper.

Well, the 670 is also a choice, depending on the pay I'm getting this month

Usually I would go for Asus, it's just that from looking the benchmarks, the MSI performs about 2FPS more than the Asus TOP, and this is only the OC version...

Might as well go for a 670

Edit: God how I hate computer stores in holland. The Asus 670 TOP, everywhere I see, is 10 dollars more expensive than the Evga 670 FTW. You think, well, I'll go for the Asus, since it's Asus. Then in Holland they say BAM, the normal Asus is 10 euro's more expensive than the Evga FTW.... Nice logic dutch people xD

Anyway, seeing as the Evga 670FTW is only 40 euro's more than the Asus 660ti OC, I think I'm gonna go with that evga.
