Can't choose...

so i've found these two graphics cards, but i'm not sure which one to choose. They seem pretty identical in my opinion, but i just want to make sure i haven't missed anything

7950 all the way.

MSI have a 3 year warranty and KFA2 have a 2 year warranty. This wouldn't put me off KFA2 though as they are UK based

7950

7950.

so any idea if there are any actual differences, or is it just simply preference of make?

I would choose the MSI, I actually did, it's a great card to overclock. Also, MSI have good UK based RMA if it ever needs to be returned.

The 7950 is quicker and if you are not fussed over PhysX pretties, it is a very wise choice

right, another bit of info: i use 3ds max with physX. am i assuming correctly that this may alter my choice (sorry, not very knowledgeable about graphics cards. Stuck with 6 year old 8800GTX and scared to upgrade )
