I am building a gaming pc soon, and I am most likely getting a gtx 960 2gb, but I am not sure which one to get. Out of these three, which one do you recommend and why? I would like the one that will run the quietest and stay coolest and still get good performance in games.

All graphics cards are basically the same. The only difference is basically cooling and PCB if straying from the reference design.

Anyway, from the cards you have listed, the EVGA card has the highest core clock out of all of them.

If looks do matter with you, it is really depends on personal taste, but I do love how MSI makes their cards; other than that, the EVGA one would be the better card since it has a higher core clock out of Asus and MSI.

I was thinking the same thing, going with the EVGA, but I hear their cards run pretty loud and not as cool as the Asus and MSI cards. Btw I am not OCing if that helps.

EVGA is a fine company from what I have hear. Never experienced them though. I do know someone that has a EVGA GTX 970 and she does like her card; it is quiet and has good cooling.

If this helps, here is a site that explains a couple of some companies cooling solutions...

EVGA's ACX is basically similar to MSI's Twin Frozr according to Gamers' Nexus.

alright thanks, some people say their cards are loud or hot sometimes and some people say they are fine, I guess I am going to have to find that out once I get the card. thanks for the help
