MSI Radeon HD 7790 or Saphire Radeon HD 7790

[BlueDinoMiner]

So I did a post over at the build log section of the forums and a lot of you guys recommended for me to get the AMD Radeon 7790.

So now that we've chosen the 7790 we are not sure whether to get the MSI version or the Saphire version due to the fact that they are both priced the same in the UK (on amazon)

SAPHIRE VERSION: http://amzn.to/10A8KOy

 

So I am amusing that that MSI one has  better performance because it's overclocked but I am unsure. As you can see from the link they are both £110 and the two questions I have is which gives the best performance and also which is the quietest.

I would recomend the MSI but can you not get a 7850 for the same cost? Which is a stronger GPU?

Don't buy the 7790 buy the 650 TI Boost, it'll cost £128 which is the same price as the 7790 (last time I checked) and in SLI it scales almost as well as 660 TIs.

I'm an AMD fan but it is much better value imo.

The 7990 is £110 as said in the post. The Nvidia 650 ti Boost is £125 and the AMD 7850 is £120.

Go 7850 all the way. A 7850 is one of the best bang for buck cards out there, I'd say that

O.o didn't realise the 7850 had fallen as much as it has in price sorry. The 7850 is in another league to the 650 TI Boost.
