I bought one GIGABYTE 9070 gaming OC with 4499 CNY (626 USD)at April 23, whose VRAM is made by Hynix. I've tried to overclock it and I found that it get not that stable after months. Currently I can only undervolt it by 30mv and overclock the VRAM to 2650.

Yesterday I occasionally came up to a Powercolor 9070 Red Devil of 4319 CNY (600 USD), and I immediately bought it. It should arrive at tomorrow. It's bought on a third-party store instead of the GIGABYTE 京东 official store, and it's probably a newly made Samsung VRAM model.

I planned to test these two cards, try dual card AI interfering with them for a couple of weeks, and then sell one of them as second-handed card. The question is, which card should I hold?

That answer will come about, after you've undervolted and perhaps overclocked the card as you did with the Gigabyte card to see which is worth holding onto. At face value we tend to jump at a lot of things but the end result/deciding factors are the benchmarking results not just numbers on a brochure that are quite frankly there for marketing purposes only.

Hmmmmm fine, I can't wait to immediately test the red devil!
