Id go with the msi as I like the look better, and also only takes up two slots, but thats my opinion, my friend also just ordered a msi too

MSI is far superior, much better card.

Why buy a 570gtx when a 480 is similar performance for £160?

any reasons.....since im leaning towards to Asus...for its over-clocking ability

Why is the MSI card any better than the Asus card? Asus one looks better to me except for SLI purposes. Better cooler, backplate, etc.

I take it by refurbs you guys don't mean clearance. Can someone please link to it? I can't see it on there.

The MSI is an amazing card. Got mine at 900 core and it only hits 60-65 degrees in heaven benchmark.

Why though? People just keep saying "MSI" but don't give any reasons!

Is it because of the better warranty and more compact size? If so, that's not enough to put it ahead of the Asus IMO.

When I did research on video cards, I found out that you have to be careful with the amount of memory they have... You need to get 2gb version not 1 gb, In games like battlefield 3, 1gb memory is not enough to cope, read this, stulid gave this link to me

Link's dead mate. I think 1Gb is fine for 1080p unless we're talking about SLI in which case the extra vram can be efficiently used. A 1.2Gb 570 will hand a 2Gb 6970 it's arse in BF3.
