Thank you

I assume the give and takes of them cards equal out in the end it seemed the winforce has the better cooling xfx can be more hit and miss read up on there reviews and go with the best deal or sale

Get the Windforce. 3 fans will keep your card in a nice temperature. As for performance, they'll deliver very similar FPS so get the cheaper one or the Gigabyte if they cost the same.

I've just bought my Windforce. Waiting it to arrive =]
