which will give better performance, sheer performance, no "O WELL THE M1 IS MORE ESPENSIVE SO IZ MUST BE BETTR!"
and don't say bs like don't waste your money on one.
You can either tell me which one is better for a $5000 system that I won in a contest or shut up. Your choice.
we are telling you which one is better, and the answer is NEITHER. Toms did a review,as well as several other web sites, and all reach the same conclusion. There is NO benefit to these add in cards. You are better off spending that money on better graphics, better cpu, better SSD or hard drives, or ANYTHING else. Bottom line whether you want to hear it or not is they are a waste of money. If you just want to waste money, get both. If you won a $5000 system a better question would be "what is the best system I can build for $5000"....but don't expect us to give bad advice just because you have a large budget.
Tell them you would rather have the latest copy of Hooked on Phonics.
Send your money to charity, it will be better used.

you got to be more stubborn then a brick if you still want to get a device that doesn't work, when any guy with good technical knowledge and some common sense on this forum will tell you that its a waste of money...

Honestly if you feel like burning more cash for no reason on one of these completely useless cards, why don't you just buy whichever suits you since budget obviously isn't a concern.
Better yet, buy both of them and see which one you like?
Of course if you feel like not throwing away money, take the advice of every single person here and use it on something useful...
You could even pay for some faster internet for like 2 months with 100 bucks...
