    Is it worth paying extra for EVGA 8800GT?

    Hi,

    I have already placed an order for the MSI 8800GT OC edition. However i've seen the EVGA 8800GT KO card for £25 more.

    Is it worth paying the extra money for the EVGA card?

    I'm not heavily into overclocking and want a decent graphics card to play Unreal 2007 and COD4.

    What are you're thoughts on the MSI card?


    Thanks

    the MSI is great value IMO, they are both the same component wise, just different sticker on the cooler.

    Stick with what you got. There won't be much noticable difference in the cards with slightly different overclocks. I just got an eVGA 8800GT Superclocked, but I went with eVGA more for the warrenty than anything. And the step-up program is a nice idea; I may step up to one of the new GTSs that are supposed to be out soon.
