Asus or Gigabyte?

[bossmodee]

Hey guys I've been thinking about getting a GTX 670, im deciding between the Asus or Gigabyte non-reference models. Im leaning towards the Gigabyte one because I heard that the support is better there, and also because the Asus one isnt even available yet. I dont plan on OC'ing yet until I really need to. Anyways, what are your guy's suggestions?

From my point of view and seen reviews, All the non-reference designed cards are the same...they might differ in 1-3C in terms of cooling, and 1-2 db in terms of noise.

They are all just the same with the exception of different stickers on them. ;p
If you were going to pick a non-ref one, there would have been a lot of pros and cons to discuss.

@jack
All of those are non reference designed cards, they are the Asus DCII coolers.

EDIT: After searching around, I've found that there's no Gigabyte or Asus reference cards, all non reference cards.
