Hey!

Now that we know the pricing of the new 9xx line of Nvidia I wanted to ask you guys what I should get for my rig? The Evga or the gigabyte card in the title?

All things considered, Evga card is much more cheaper in my country and as known uses much less power and 4GB vram vs. 3GB. Gigabyte is priced higher, uses more power, but performs like crazy...so does the evga 970, yes...The price difference between these too would free up money in my budget to go for an 500 GB SSD rather than 250 GB...which I want so much, I wouldn't need more than 500GB.

The choice looks easy, but the question is...would EVGA perform as good as the Gigabyte card? Because it does perform awesomely. I hope I'm not asking a dumb question and wasting your time with this...

Edit: Gigabyte costs 550$ here and the Evga 450$. 100$ difference!

The Evga has also the highest OC from the factory compared to all the other cards, but is the cheapest here!

I've actually read that review! Evga looks awesome! But it is so wierd when I had my heart set on the gigabyte, but it looks like EVGA is the better choice in terms of...everything!

It's not solely down to EVGA. It is mainly the new Maxwell architecture.

Exactly. I don't even know why this is an issue for me. I get more money to get an Samsung EVO 500GB, which is awesome and EVGA 970 OC which outperforms the GTX 780. Not sure about the 780 OC gigabyte, but still..

Edit: and lets not forget about the drivers, more performance when they mature!
