As we've seen throughout our testing, the real world performance differences between the two are in most cases, very slim, and even where there is an advantage - admittedly usually in the BFG GeForce GTX 280 Hv2OC's favour thanks to the superior stock memory and shader clock speeds, the MSI can comfortably match the BFG's stock clocks when overclocked. However, as we've seen, there's plenty of room for improvement above and beyond that from both cards. The real clincher here though is the value and peace of mind both cards offer in comparison to just buying a stock aircooled GeForce GTX 280 and fitting your own waterblock to it, which many might argue is the better route to watercooled graphics. Even if you bought a bargain GTX 280 and waterblock - which neither of the two used here are, you'll still end up paying upwards of 370 GBP, and you'll have the worry of uncertain overclocking performance and a voided warranty into the bargain too. For the peace of mind of a secure, and in the BFG's case exceptionally long warranty, if you're considering dipping your toes into the world of watercooled graphics and we realise it's not going to be to everyone's tastes we feel it that both cards really are worth that extra cash.
