Gigabyte also has a good offering with their G1 Gaming version. Check them out.

Reference is obviously the best.

Both are great cards, but the MSI performs better and is slightly cooler and quieter. The ASUS looks better though.

AUS always win me over with their cards. They just look soso good!!

Thanks for the reply guys i still can't figure out which to get but i'll be looking at the MSI,Asus and Gigabyte one.When the gpu gets shipped in my country i can orient myself by the price.

By the way will a gigabyte gtx 970 fit in my case? (TrendSonic FC-P004A Poseidon)

Lots of people are having issues with MSI cards such as bad coil whine and fan issues. Including myself. So I'd go Gigabyte or ASUS for now.

Alex Kelly :

Yeah i watched reviews for both cards and the gigabyte one really has my attention now.The only problem is that i don't know if it will fit in my case (TrendSonic FC-P004A Poseidon)

Been trying to find out the GPU clearance on your case but every website I found is in Russian(I think) so I can't help you there unless you can tell me the GPU clearance yourself.

Nah,not gonna happen.I only have 16,5 cm clearance while the card needs like 19.Fuck.What about the other ones (msi,asus) how wide are they? Where can i check?

It should tell you on the websites.

rockstarr · Sep 30, 2014

Script :

Yeah,i saw both the asus and the msi versions say that are somewhere around 14 cm.Guess i'll take the msi one,because some reviews said that it's less noisier and is a little bit colder than the asus one.

Alex Kelly · Sep 30, 2014

^ Yeah it's a great card, just pray to the 420 gods you don't get coil whine

rockstarr · Sep 30, 2014

Alex Kelly :

Goodness,is the coil wine bad or is it bearable? Im using headphones so i won't hear it that much but still.

Alex Kelly · Sep 30, 2014

It's bearable, just very high pitched and offputting, you wouldn't be able to hear it with headphones on though

And, theres a good chance you wouldn't get a defective one anyway.

Oh my god i'm so retarded the gigabyte is 129mm wide while i read 192mm damnit i am stupid.Gigabyte version it is.Nevermind i have one 6 pin pci connector and one 6+2 pin connector it will work (hopefully)
