not wanting to name names but I can get 10% off any order this month with a different company and was looking at getting a new card, they currently have various cards actually in stock and am looking for advice on which one to get.


Gigabyte windforce 954MHz Core, 1006MHz Boost for £***** with the 10% off included

or a Zotac Amp card 1006MHz Core, 1059MHz Boost for £*****

The MSI lightning is the same as the gigabyte, which one would be the best out of these 3 cards?

all 3 obviously include the 3 game promotion that's going on which will make further savings but am interested in the best card for the money to be honest.

MSI should be listed as Frozr not the lightning

MSI lightning go with this one if you can, if not giga wind

Shouldn't really be talking of prices at competitors but yhe MSI Lightening would be my choice out of those three. I've got the Gigabyte one and the cooler is fantastic but for pure overclocking ability the MSI would be better.

i've blanked the prices out, but this 10% discount only applies to people who purchased from this particular retailer in the last 3 years and only on a mail shot email. So it wouldn't apply to most as this retailer isn't the usual one that people relate to on here anyway.

I got mixed up on the MSI, the one that's smilar in price is the Twin Frozr version not the lightning.

The lightning version is about £60 more after the discount than the others mentioned

Gaming version? In that case I'd rather have the Windforce.

yer the Frozr is the gaming edition.

So the lightning isn't worth the extra £60?

Not unless your heavily into benchmarking etc.
