MSI 450 GTS Cyclone

I was just wondering is the MSI GTS 450 Cyclone exactly the same card as the MSI GTS 450 Cyclone OC edition?

I am a bit unsure if its the exact same card but with a factory Overclock or a upgraded card.

I am abit of a novice here, so I was just wondering also if you could push the 450 Cyclone OC edition harder in overclocking than the standard 450 Cyclone.

yes it is, the oc edition will have a slight overclock on it at stock, but they should overclock to the same, do you currently have one or are you looking to buy one?

I have the 450 Cyclone that's not the OC edition. When I was looking around I noticed on some websites (Il post some sources later) that the OC edition was roughly £20 more than the non-OC edition.

Surely if they are the same card and spec, that the only difference is stock Overclock then it seems a little cheeky to charge extra when you can change it yourself in Afterburner.

brands always do that

think of all the money you could make as a business by tinkering 3 settings and charging £20 for it. I've missed a trick there I tell ya. lol
