EVGA vs ASUS vs MSI = my madness

[duckroll]

I'm tired of choosing between these three. I will buy whatever you will recommend

MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC GeForce GTX 560 Ti

ASUS ENGTX560 TI DCII TOP/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 560 Ti
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121425

EVGA 01G-P3-1560-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130634

I've read all reviews and still not sure

If it was me I would pick up the MSI and overclock it a bit to equal the ASUS stock. But if you don't want to overclock go with the ASUS.

 

[duckroll]

I'm not gonna overclock in the near future.

 

[andrewcarr]

Then if you don't plan on overclocking (voids warranty) I would get the ASUS.

Doesn anybody know why they deactivated this awesome card?

It is freaking awesome!

GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series GTX 560 Ti

 

[andrewcarr]

My guess is that it isn't made by GIGABYTE anymore.

But you can still get cards at that clock.

Of those three I would get the MSI (I didn't include the sparkle brand one because I would not buy from them).

 

[duckroll]

Yeah, I've checked the MSI Hawk and it is VERY noisy, it sounds like boeing 747. Zotac - $230, not bad.

 

[andrewcarr]

Where have you heard that it is noisy? What I have heard about it is all good.

So its like most cards at normal it will run at less than 65% fan speed at the highest and it is quiet. If you then overclock it and it has to run at 100% fan speed it is loud.

[andrewcarr]

Already saw that and I would still buy that. That fan noise is with the case open, and on top of that the normal range when gaming is 30-60% so not much of the extreme noise. 60% is were the sound becomes noticeable but still not bad.

 

[duckroll]

Okay, five minutes ago I was sure I am getting ASUS and now I am at the crossroads again

Hard to screw up on any of those 3 cards.
They're all excellent.
I'd go for the lifetime warranty and the SO version.

EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1563-AR

Otherwise i'd just choose by whatever looks the best,hard to pick a bad card out of those.

 

[andrewcarr]

Well if you don't want that my second choice would be the ZOTAC.

 

[duckroll]

Okay, thanks
