General consensus is the msi is the one?

I'm swaying more to the MSI right now

Any reviews of the Zotac one, that's really quite small?
As per my previous post earlier today about the 1.25v voltage limit I've been playing about. If I had +87mv the card will show 1.25v. I've just tried adding +40mv and GPU-Z is showing 1.262v. What the hell is going on lol.
Yeah it seems to jump up in stages, mine seems to be 1.218v at stock, then 1.243, then 1.262.
1.243 seems stable though when I check the graph in GPU-Z where as when it's at 1.262 it seems to jump up and down between 1.218, 1.243 and 1.262.
Earlier today it was showing 1.25v when I had +87mv added. Really not sure what's going on.
Games will work for hours then I'll go on a different game and I'll go back to a game later that was working fine and I'll get a D3D crash. Wonder if the memory is actually stable at 2000mhz for long periods. Someone said there's RAM chips on the back of the card that get really hot.

Going to leave it at +20mv, 1500/2000 and see if I get any crashes, if I do I'll put memory to stock and try again.
the Zotac AMP looks interesting

it has quite a few mods to it, the MSI is probably the best, but i cant find a review on this card so it's hard to tell
this card is maybe too bulky, but it definitely looks like a quality product, it looks great in the photos.
this looks interesting..definitely different, but maybe over engineered

One of the biggest manufacturers in the world.

Cant believe you guys are not all over the ASUS board...

They're really poor when it comes to RMA's

MSI
To be fair it's the only one I have experience with and they're very quiet when gaming. I think the Jetstream has a decent cooler on it, at least looks like it.
Honestly? I don't think you'd go far wrong with either but I'd lean towards the Jetstream out of those

The JetStream is apparently quieter than the MSI but runs around 7C hotter.
I do really like the look of that Zotac.

No problem, which other competitor can you talk to the boss at 11pm about products. We win!
The ETA for the Inno3D X2 shows as Friday, Is that pretty accurate? So if I order a pair for Saturday delivery I should receive them on Saturday?
I just swapped out my GTX480 SOC for the msi 970 and its completely silent most of the time, also all system temps have dropped with the 480 not being there. OH and frame rates have gone up a bit too
People are missing out on a phenomenal card if that's the case.
I have to ask, you have an ASUS MB do you not?

What's great about the Asus? I only ask as I'm looking at getting a 970. I like to the look of the gigabyte although people reporting its a bit noisy at idle is putting me off.
