Hi,

Current pricing at tradepac

MSI N670GTX - 2GB POWER EDITION : $628
LEADTEK GTX680 2048MB DDR5 620 : $620

difference are :
factory overclock vs simple edit from reference build.
670 vs 680
branding

670 PE command a higher pricing than 680.

which 1 you pick?

and for those who pick 670 PE. why?

MSI for...

1. its better distro customer service.

2. Little performance disadvantage over GTX 680.

3. Much nicer looking HSF.

4. Potentially much better overclockability with stronger HSF, VRM is the same though.

MSI gtx 670 once it overclock it runs nearly as good as gtx680. Furthermore you can enjoy their better customer service

Can consider Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce too, costs around $589.

MSI for extra one-year warranty over the Leadtek, better after-sales support by distributor, and free-flow of coffee/tea/Milo if you ever need to RMA your MSI card
