Yeah, thats common sense Palit maybe cheaper but they have very good memmory and heatsing on the vram with good cooler.BTW after the flash I got around 40mhz more with the same RAM OC-+750 on 3505mhz stock. Thats not bad for "cheaper" card. The flash just gave me more stable OC thats it. My core clock is also 1555mhz. MSI are more expensive because they put more where its not necessary.Thicker pcb, better plastic ect. It seems I got better deal than you
p.s. BTW the fact i ask for help doesnt make me a noob Your post suggests that.
