EVGA 8600GT, or the MSI 8600GT OC edition.. Question is how hot/stable is the MSI one in comparesion to the EVGA? clearly the MSI is more powerfull.

But what about its heat? Thats why im so worried and not sure what one to buy. My current XFX 7600GS gets to 98... WAY TO HOT! and is OCed so I worry about buying a pre OCed card an stuff.

EVGA is very popular. They have a superb warranty for a reason. I'm using one now. It never gets hot or anything. MSI is a good company too though. Do some price comparisons and ask yourself again.

Iwould buy the evga. They have a step up plan, so you can get a better card later (Within 90 days) Also, their warranty covers overclocking.
