Out of the box the gigabyte may get 1-2 more FPS just because it has a slightly higher OC. The gigabyte should run slightly cooler as it has 3 fans, but it is also louder.

In all honesty, these cards would perform very similar and with a simple download of OC software whatever their frequencies out of the box are do not matter and both will perform the same.

If it was up to me, I'd go with the ASUS, they make some of the most premiere PC components and that cooler is a beast.
