Is there any reason not to get the MSI version of the 2GB 6950?

Once I figure this out my bank gets £900 lighter.

Edit: I meant 6950

thats actualy a good question tho

what exactly is the diference between all the diferent brands of the same card?

I would wager it's largely down to coolers and warranty.
However cooling isn't going to be as big a problem with this as my OC'd 470, and it comes with a 2 years warranty where I bought it anyway. So I figured it can't be so bad (clock speeds etc were all the same)

Just hoping it can be flashed to a 6970... if I can stand all the tech business that comes with unlocking it... (is actually pretty technologically retarded)
