Honestly, you can not go wrong with either decision.
As a TOP owner and an MSI enthusiest, I would recommend the Asus card. With the latest bios update from Asus, the card will run without any issues. That was a tough decision for me to as I absolutely LOVE MSI cards. I went with my Asus and havent looked back because when you pit the cards at one another, this time around the Asus just performs at a higher level.
Cooling - They both are very comparable in this field
Noise - The Asus blows everything else out of the water, especialy a TF cooler
Performance - I am sure the MSI can OC, although out of the box the Asus carries a faster OC than most GTX 680's - wow!
Features - Asus has a backplate included
Do not get me wrong, I still Love MSI and their Twin Frozr, I just think Asus wins this time around. Although if you pick up the MSI card, I am sure you will be happy. After owning both cards, while I still prefer the TF cooler look, I love never hearing my card during gaming.
