MSI or EVGA? GTX 550 Ti

[schpen]

Which one should I get between the two?

MSI: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=59490&vpn=N550GTX-Ti%20Cyclone%20OC&manufacture=MSI%2FMicroStar

EVGA: http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=59501&vpn=01G-P3-1556-KR&manufacture=eVGA&promoid=1304

i go for EVGA^_^

Any reasons for picking EVGA?

just save some bucks and go with the 5770, 550ti is no better than the 5770 in majority of games.A respectable upgrade would be a hd 6870.

you linked a 6850, not a 6870.. and the 6870 is like $60-70 more, of course its better.

A GTX 460 1GB should be the same price as a GTX 550, and its stronger, a lot stronger.

I recall EVGA has a lifetime warranty, so I'd pick that. MSI is more high quality in general but the warranty is only 3 years in US so practically you should choose an EVGA videocard if you want it to live forever. Unless you upgrade every 3 years then I'd suggest MSI because its more reliable quality anyway.

oops , i listed a 6850, but its better than 550ti and is equal to a gtx 460.

Both cheaper and better than the GTX 550 Ti;

I have 2x MSI GTX550 ti Cyclone II OC on a SLI and I am impressed by the FPS. The performance is solid and most of times beats any GTX570, and 2x 550ti is like $240.
