Gigabyte's Windforce vs ASUS' DirectCUII

MadDog121 · Jul 5, 2013

Which is the better cooling option for the 7870?
The only difference between these two except the coolers is that the Gigabyte card is factory OCed to 1.1GHz while the ASUS card is clocked at 1GHz.. Any difference?

I need quick answers because I'm just about to buy one of those two.
Thanks in advance!

Both are really good coolers, but Gigabyte's Windforce one is known for lower noise in most situations, and is also easier to clean. Plus, 1.1ghz 7870 should yield 5-7% higher gaming performance than a 1ghz one. Therefor, Gigabyte's Windforce HD7870 is the better choice.

gigabyte windforce editions always has good cooling and much more O.C ed than the other versions. Go with the gigabyte one as i said earlier.
