The only really good reason to chose the Gigabyte over the Palit is if you need the second DVI port. The Gigabyte has 2 DVI, 3 DP and 1 HDMI. The Palit has only one DVI, 3 m-DP and 1 HDMI. If you don't need it, save yourself the $110. If you have 3 monitors and DVI is your only connection option, your going to need the gigabyte or play the gamble on finding a DP to DVI converter that works.

The only other caveat is if you intend to do water cooling. The Palit looks like it is not using a reference board. The Gigabyte is not either but, they get preferential treatment from water block manufacturers so it is likely that a block will be made for it. The Palit is not as likely.

With that price difference, you might as well get the Palit. The Gigabyte is the superior card, but you honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Plus you could just overclock the Palit and get almost the same performance.

edit:
Actually the Palit already has a higher stock clock. All the Gigabyte has is a better fan for more OC headroom.
