Gigabyte 980 Ti Windforce vs G1

[JeanPi]

Hey guys. I'm sacrificing my wallet to upgrade my gpu, however, i have one doubt: What's the difference between the OC Windforce version on the 980 Ti and the G1?

Here are the cards:

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti Overclocked 6GB GDDR5 (Windforce)

Gigabyte GeForce GV-N98TG1 6GB GDDR5 (G1)

Higher clock speed on the G1 more factory overclock.

So besides that, it's just the same card? Should i go for the G1/Asus Strix Oc or will the Windforce do just as good?

Get the cheaper one. You can easily get that OC with the windforce cooler.

Which card brand to go with is really personal preference, Mine would be between ASUS, MSI and EVGA. Between the Gigabyte cards I would save the money and go with the windforce and do user OC.

Go with the cheaper one to start, then OC from there. However, I'd strongly recommend MSI's card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127889&cm_re=980_ti-_-14-127-889-_-Product
Not only does it look better (in my opinion), but it also is highly overclockable, and only spins up the fans when needed. It's also only $10 more than the cheaper of your two cards...
