Well, the fact is I don't really know which one to choose and I'd appreciate your opinions:

I'd go for the Sapphire, it looks much nicer.

it's not just about the looks!

The Cooler on the Vapor-X (Sapphire) is far better, it consists the use of a vapor chamber and fans/heatpipes rather then just fans and heatpipes to cool the GPU. this in turn offers less temps and heat dissipation.

Get the Sapphire!

The windforce cooler has also a vapor chamber so I don't know.. Price difference is only 15 euros cheaper for Gigabyte one..

I would go for the Sapphire one, it has slightly better cooling and oc capabilites, but honestly speaking. Both Gigabyte and Sapphire are such good manufactures, you really wont notice much of a difference, you could just go with the one that looks nicer or thats quieter
