Ryan_78 :
Do not buy EVGA for their bad cooling, but otherwise the cards are goodMy fav would be the gigabyte g1, but the Asus, MSI, gainward, plait are all really good and pretty equal in performance.
That statement is completely false. EVGA has quite decent cooling and the fans shut completely off when the card is not in use.
In fact I'm actually going to recommend this card by EVGA. It's their SSC version, so you will have extreme overclocks out of the box, as well as more headroom to do overclock some more if you choose to do so.
