Hey,

need help choosing between 6870's .. The two cards are from HIS and MSI, They both are the same price, however they have different coolers..

Does any one have any experience on these two vga cards and which one would be better in comparison to each other.

Thanks

MSI is know for having great cooling solutions on their video cards.

What models, exactly, are you considering?

Depends on which IceQ you're considering, if it's the 'X Turbo X', then it has a faster factory OC @975MHz and I'd tell you to get the HIS in that case.

Otherwise, go for the MSI @930MHz.
