I believe that the Tri-X one is the best. This is from Sapphire.

ASUS has no blemish on the record that I have seen when it comes to video cards that was talked about endlessly that I know about and so I would go with them over MSI.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

Get Tri-X/Vapor-X/Lightning/PCS+.

 

My TwinFrozr is not loud at all but the temp is much higher when overclock compare to the coolers above.

Well that's a little pricey, I'd take the msi one instead...

Then survey which of the 2 brands have the best customer service there and get that one.

I love my MSI Lightning 290X. It kicks ass and I haven't heard a peep from it since I got it.

 

I'd recommend the Lightning.
