First thing is the length of the card. Windforce is a long card.

Some people chassis is small and do not have the length clearance.

3 Fans against 2 Fans. The sound is definitely Audible when GPU is on Load.

Cooling features both about the same.

Next is the RMA service centre. 1 at commonwealth and the other is at AMK.

For me i will naturally choose MSI as it is closer to my home.

I managed to get msi 280x this late afternoon but the price is nearer to srp. Also got the h87 gaming + i5 4570. Spend hours removing old motherboard and replacing with new items. Just completed installing Windows. Will be installing back my software on Sunday when I'm free. Thanks to all who help especially royfrosty and threadstarter jiaweiii
