Which one is cooler , among the two cards : )
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130826 - EVGA GeForce GTX 660
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127699 - MSI GeForce GTX 660 2GB

Many people say , that evga one is the cooler, as it throws hot air out of the case.
Well that's say that it's true, so my second question would be, does this make a really BIGGG difference in the performance or the difference is so small that you can just ignore it.

thanks, xoxox

The EVGA card will keep the rest of your components cooler by expelling the hot air out of the case. The MSI card will keep the GPU itself cooler because it has two bigger fans. The EVGA card has a higher clock speed, although that can easily be changed. Personally, I would go with the EVGA card because I prefer that type of cooler.
 

Do you believe what people say or what is actually measured?

I prefer empirical data to hearsay.

The two cards you are looking at were reviewed in exactly the same system and under the same lab conditions and using the same applications.
