The MSI Twin Frozr editions tend to be better than most others eh.

It puzzles me that you would bypass such uberness in favour of EVGA.

I would actually look at BFG, XFX, Asus, MSI, and even HIS before I look at EVGA.

Well my current EVGA has and continues to serve me well. Playing all the games etc without hardware issues besides the whole nvidia driver fiasco.

As I see that dual fan on the MSI all I seeing in dust, where I live there is alot of it so the less entry points to the card the better. I don't have time to pull down rig and dust out every minute.....

It also boils down to price for me, not doubting the quality of other brands of cards but will just wait and see.

For $10 more you get HD6950... for $40 less you get HD6870... it's amazing the variety we have now... Tom's had a very neutral view of the card, not worth an upgrade if you already have 470 or 5850/70 but @ 250 with cheaper options that aren't floored by the 560 (win/loss) I guess this card will appeal to those who already are on the green machine or when it comes down in price a little. So by mid year this card should be where it ought to be.

Hate? Nah...I actually had two eVGA 8800 GTs in SLI at one point.
As a brand though, their products just never stood out to me.

Doesn't necessarily mean that they're necessarily bad.

Yeah, its not necessarily necessary to assume he is saying that evga isnt necessarily good, just that necessarily you dont necessarily need to associate quality with evga alone and that its necessary to consider other brands...

Necessarily.

I'll stick to want i know been using EVGA since the 8800 days,so i stick to what i know,but that MSI looking nice but as red said it will be a dust magnet .



For $10 more you get HD6950... for $40 less you get HD6870... it's amazing the variety we have now...

So by mid year this card should be where it ought to be.

I agree it's not worth a upgrade if you have a 470,but to me i need this card to replace my 9800.

um...fellas.

Put $2 air filters on your intake case fans, dust will not even find its way inside your case to touch your cards.

Its like saying you dont use air filters on your car and u will just drive in the rainy season when there is no dust...ummmm....yea.

Sticking to what you know is also overrated. I have used EVGA cards in all my Nvidia setups since the 6800gs I had 7 years ago, now i've gone with MSI and have had no problems.

Brand loyalty is no reason to miss out on a great product.

@ Awesome yes I do have fan filters in my case (bet ya didn't see that coming HA!)

Yes I will be willing to give other brands a try, gorsh I aint even seen all the options offered from the top brands yet.

Note: I also said price will be a factor, so that would mean if something good is at a cheaper price than EVGA's offerings of course I'd buy it. Brand loyalty isn't my thing so don't get the wrong idea.    :happy0203:

To run at the same time? if so go with AMD,NVIDIA can only run 2 at a time on 1 card i think

yea to run at the same time... you can run up to 6 displays with AMD cards, all nvidia (with the exception of the gtx 295) can only run 2 displays at a time <-- thats from nvidia's technical support.

the caveat with the AMD however is just that if you planning to run more than 2 displays at a time you need to utilize the display port output for the 3rd-6th device (but easily solvable with a cheap adapter, if you don't have any DP devices)

2 displays...as in 2 separate eh...not their Surround display.  For that you need 2 or more
cards in SLI.

Look a bess review of some non-reference 560 Ti cards...



Notice something?  Thats right...no eVGA.  I wonder why?  :laughing7:


...and look Guru3D review the Twin Frozr by itself.  That should tell you something.  :)
