Evga or gigabyte ?

[Nik Golob]

Hi
I was wondering which one to get.

http://www.dinokomp.si/produkt/evga-geforce-gtx-980-4gb-superclocked-acx-2-0/
As you see the evga is cheaper and the clock is higher.
What are the main differences?
Can I oc the gigabyte to g1 level or not ?
Which runs cooler,quiter?
Which has a better performance ?



Have a good day!

I would go with the Gigabyte, it has a higher overclocking capability than the EVGA. Also, the ACX cooler on the EVGA seems to be hit-or-miss with people either saying it's pretty quiet or extremely loud with no real middle ground.

Alternatively, if you don't want to overclock very much and prefer the card to be as quiet as possible, Asus is a safe bet

Out of those two i would go Gigabyte, The clock speed plays a part but the Gigabyte one should also run slightly cooler

Ok so I can make the gigabyte as strong as evga or gigabyte g1 or even stronger if I oc it?

Definitely, and you're getting a much better cooling solution with the Gigabyte. Albeit, it's a little bigger, the Gigabyte is I believe about 2 and a half inches longer than the EVGA
