Planning to build a gaming rig and stumbled across 2 final choices on amazon:
MSI GTX 960 Gaming 4GB ($232)
EVGA GTX 960 FTW+ Gaming 4GB 2.0+ ($230)
I realize that the FTW+ has a + and the only difference between it and a normal FTW is the included backplate. So first question: Does a backplate make a difference?
Secondly, I the EVGA card has about 100mhz higher clocks at both normal and boost clock. Does this make a considerable difference in performance?
ALSO, does this higher clock damage the card faster, killing the EVGA faster than the MSI?
Finally, how do the MSI heat pipes + fans (twin frozer) compare with the EVGA ACX 2.0? I'm not worried about sound too much, but what about quality. performance, longevity, etc?
