MSI TF OC comes out $260

asus $250 when its back in stock and am not too fond of the over-sized cooler but heared good reviews

http://www.amazon.com/HD7850-DC2-2GD5-DisplayPort-Utili...

As you can see prices are too close to decide based on a few dollars difference. I am looking for your guys' opinion on which of these brands is more reliable and overclocks more consistently. personal experience with the cards would be great too.

Thank you. :D

If you are not in too much hurry, I say wait for the new MSI. But if you are in a hurry, get the other MSI. The dual fan is not bad. It will make it quieter & cooler than the single fan iceQ. I have iceQ myself ( but different chips ) & did not like it. I have to replace it with bifrost after market vga cooler.

did u not like it because of noise level or high temps?

also it kinda sucks seeing ppl in the UK alrdy having received their MSI PE and we cant even order anywhere here in the US.

No, i really did not like it to the point that I am willing to spend $35 more for a dual fan after market vga cooler. From then one I made the resolution to buy only dual fan models.

cmon guys need more opinion. there must be a ton of u out there who own one of these cards or know someone who does. do anyone of them overclock more consistently?

I would also like to hear ppl opinion on this. I myself am waiting on the MSI PE but am getting impatient w8ing for it when EU alrdy got theirs and we dont even have a release date in the US and I want to start building alrdy esp if it wont make much of a difference. so am still looking at these brands as well.
