I am down to choosing between these two graphic cards.
I just need to know the temperatures of each GPU and the Quality.

if you could link the source of where you found the info would be great too.

MSI is better at cooling and will perform better in overall due to it having a higher core speed and memory speed

I had 2 Sapphire cards in the past and now I refuse to buy them.
love my current MSI card...

Expected GPU temps would be hard to come by.

dark_lord69 :

Can I askj why? All professional review sites out there seem to praise them.

And, out of curiosity, what it your current MSI card?

Thank you
