MSI 450 GTS Cyclone

I was just wondering is the MSI GTS 450 Cyclone exactly the same card as the MSI GTS 450 Cyclone OC edition?

I am a bit unsure if its the exact same card but with a factory Overclock or a upgraded card.

I am abit of a novice here, so I was just wondering also if you could push the 450 Cyclone OC edition harder in overclocking than the standard 450 Cyclone.

I would assume that there the oc edition is just a factory over and yet still the same card, all it is saving you time from having to overclock. in which the oc edition wouldnt be worth it because you can fiddle around in afterburner and oc as much as your card can handle.

I was thinking that. But delving into the internet I find on some websites that the OC edition is more expensive than standard one. (I'll post the sources of this later) So paying MSI more to change settings you could do in 2 mins seems abit of a cheek.

Yeh. You can achieve the same clock yourself with little effort, but if you don't want to overclock yourself and you can justify the price difference, then you can always go with the OC'd edition.
