What is the better card overall?

Solution
The G1 gaming supports better performance out of the box due to factory OCing.
The EVGA has much better support.

I personally would recommend you look at the MSI gaming 970 instead.

Both are excellent cards and it's really a toss up. The G1 Gaming "should" have better performance potential since the chips are binned in those models. EVGA is just a great manufacturer and has great customer support so it's really up to which you value most. Performance or customer service and warranty.
