Msi vs Evga

[johnpaul182]

Okay so, I've been scouring all the sites i can think of for a GTX 560 (non ti) and i have found these 2 cards but can someone please tell me why the price gap is so big? apart from the obvious faster clock speeds on the Evga card. If that is the only difference wouldn't i just be able to overclock the Msi one to equal the same performance as the Evga?

Evga: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards+-+NVIDIA/GeForce+GTX+560/EVGA+GeForce+GTX+560+SC+1024MB+GDDR5+PCI-Express+Graphics+Card+?productId=48936

if you don't plan in overclocking go with the EVGA because of the higher clocks... but if you don't live in a hot place and have a good cooled system you can go with MSI and overclock it i think the msi cooler is a little better, but i'm not sure if the warranty will be valid if you overclock it. do it only if you know what you are doing.

Forgot all about the warranty damn! suppose i'll just pay the extra for the Evga.

Thanks for the reply!
