I have a question regarding the differences of both cards:

1) The asus card has a 6+8pin connector while the msi card has a 6+6pin connector. The HD6970 also has a 6+8pin connector, will the asus card be better for that? Would powertune tweak not be required anymore?

I expect the same noise from both cards, but which one would you recommend? They both should have double BIOS right? I do not tend to overclock it for the moment, but if I can make it a 6970 card, that would be nice. Or is it better to only unlock the shadors?

What would you pick when taking into account a bios flash/mod or no bios flash/mod?

Kind regards,

Tom
