Hi!
So I'm building my first PC ever and narrowed down my video card search to these two cards;
MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB
After reading countless reviews I still honestly can't decide for my lack of experience. Overall, they're both the same, except the poorest part of Gigabyte seems to be the coil whine, whereas MSI seems to get hotter quickly (from other benchmark reviews I've read they both look similar FPS-wise). Which out of those two - coil whine or heating - are worse? How distracting is coil whine when the case is closed up? Also I've heard that MSI's card is actually doing it's job by sucking out the heat from the important parts of the card, but being new to all this I really wouldn't know. I do like Gigabyte's color scheme a bit more, and MSI is only 10 bucks cheaper.
Whichever card it'll be, I probably won't overclock in the foreseeable future (though that might change). I'll be using the PC for high-end gaming, modeling software, and music/video/picture creating & editing software. Thanks in advance
