GTX 1070 (EVGA SC vs MSI GAMING X)

[SharkVanDoom]

Which brand should I choose for Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 ?
Which card will cause me less problems ?

And why ?

they are both solid cards and perform almost the same out of the box. specs and reviews are posted here. as you can see the SC is an FE card while the gaming x is a custom pcb. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3047729/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1000-series-megathread-faq-resources.html#17902598

Today i saw a video from Linus (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SeHf9Axv8s) (GTX 1070 SC) waiting for a better performance, and i was very dissapointed with it. Almost with better numbers out the box, the SC performs almost exactly the same than the founders edition, excepting the better cooling system.

So, if the MSI Gaming X is cheaper than the SC, i would go for it in this case.

see guru 3d's review here for the 2 cards compared http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_geforce_gtx_1070_g1_gaming_review,13.html

same fps, same power used but the g1 had better temps at load.

My G1 is quiet and stays cool , glad I went with it.
