Hey guys, now that I know that I am defenitely getting a GTX 680 over a GTX 670, I am wondering about the following thing.
I can get a MSi GTX 680 standard edition for 419.99 after mail in rebate (459.99$ before) = 130$ rebate.
or
A MSi GTX 680 Twin Frozr III OC for 459.99 after mail in rebate (489.99$) = 50$ rebate.
I don't know which one to get... Would the Twin Frozr OC worth the extra 30-40$ over the Reference edition? Or the extra performance/Lower Temperature and OCing capacity I'd get is not worth it?
Also, I've read here that some people prefer reference cards when it comes to running two of these in SLI, since the reference cards push the air outside of the case instead of inside. What is your guys opinion on that?
As always, thanks a lot for your great help to far. Awesome community
