I'm working on a new build and will be getting a 780 ti but I can't decide which to go with. I was originally leaning towards MSI but now I'm thinking EVGA or Gigabyte? Does anyone have any thoughts?

for nvidia cards it is only evga, they sell over a third of all nvidia cards. get the classified if you ever plan to water cool, if not the simple acx cooler will do fine.

msi and gigabyte sell the other third of all vidieo cards, so evga, msi, gigabye sell about 2/3rds of all video cards. the other 1/3 is all the other brands you see.

msi makes a very good product i believe and i had a number of gpus from their twin frozr line and i love them.

but for the 780s, msi is unfortunately using crappy elpida memory. evga uses hynix or samsung which overclock much better.

I prefer MSI. The Twin Frozr heatsink is the best I've ever seen. Even with a massive overclock on my 780, I rarely break 70C when playing high demand games. EVGA comes a close second. Gigabyte isn't good for overclocking usually. Last card I bought from them a while back was voltage locked and horribly unstable with even small overclocks. With MSI, I'm currently overclocked 125mhz core and 400mhz mem and I can still go higher and keep stability. Only reason I don't is because I like to give it some breathing room from its max capacity.

I second EVGA, Asus is another good one.
