I have EVGA now so I would, but I'm just worried about that one tiny fan that it has.

I've had both the Gigabyte WF and MSI Twin Frozr IV PE cards in my machine. Both are excellent options from my experience.

Cooling is about equal, with about a 2-3 degree C edge to the MSI card at the same fan RPM, but it does it with slightly more fan noise. The MSI is still very quiet, just not as quiet as the GB card at the same RPM.

The MSI card has an anti-dust feature, where the fans spin backwards on a cold system start which is pretty cool. However, they spin close to full, which sounds like a jet turbine, then slowly spin down (you can hear the pitch slowly diminish) to zero then start spinning in the normal direction. This initial boot noise could be a turn off for some, although probably not many.

The MSI card looks a bit nicer from the side, and has a dark brown PCB instead of blue on the GB card. For those hung up on aesthetics (which seems to be the case more and more these days) this could matter.

The real kicker is if/when MSI gets a version of AB out that will allow overvolting. Assuming that happens, the MSI card is probably the best option for those who plan to overclock (which I assume is most everyone on this forum).

Well, there is only one GTX670 with software voltage control and thats the MSI power edition. I'm kind of upset that I found this out after ordering a second direct cu 2.

The MSI PE 670 from newegg would be $469.03

The Gigabyte Windforce 670 from tigerdirect would be $417.91

The EVGA FTW 670 from newegg would be $458.00


These are the prices I could find after tax and shipping.

I still don't know what to do.

i would 110% get the MSI. it costs pretty much the same as the gigabyte, however, even with the possibility of being to increase the volts means its a clear choice for me. im getting one on payday - 6th July for sure when i am rebuilding my computer from scratch.

With those prices I would go with the windforce, personally.
