Which is better???

[kushalsv]

i'm plannin on a graphics card...
i'v shortlisted the GTX460 as the one m gonna get..
i was wondering which manufacturer i shud go for..
should i go for the MSI GTX460 CYCLONE 1GB or the ZOTAC GTX 460 1GB AMP! EDITION?
which gives better performance and which is better?

Both are good, how much is the price difference ?

DirectCU edition?
Are you looking to overclock?

Between the Zotac AMP! and the MSI Cyclone, I would go for the AMP! for its very quiet custom cooler and extra high factory overclock. Both are good choices, though.

One thing that I always take into account is the difference in warranty. EVGA has a good practice of including nice, long warranties with their cards (sometimes even lifetime warranties). I can't speak for others but that is DEFINITELY something that weighs heavy on my decision-making. I don't mind replacing the card if I can do it for free as many times as necessary.

And to be honest, a company that backs their product with a longer warranty is going to have a better product. It's more cost-effective!
