I was about to type in my explanation when halfway through I realized useless man ghapon cause:
1.) You're an MSI fanboy.
2.) Your idea that shrouds does the cooling
3.) this
maypa mu palit nalang og reference model and kamo nalay OC, ang extra money to be used for
aftermarket coolers or watercooling.
right cause they're cheaper
4.) this
basically changed the pcb color and some tweaks on the shroud design.
I adore your observation skills
5.) this
stating facts is now pointless and biting to every marketing strat manufacturers throw is acceptable?
and you're reason vouching for MSI is?
6.) this
Practically speaking a difference between 100mhz in clock speed doesn't even do much to actual performance unless the benchmark game is from 10 years ago.
Unreal Tournament will have a much "noticeable" increase in performance than Crysis 2?
7.) this
probably a lot hotter in actual (local ambiet temps) than MSI TFIII which basically is everyhting a lot better than the sapphire one.
your facts? You didn't even read the reviews you posted on your links.
