GTX 960 - Gainward and Galaxy

[Adam Spencer]

So here in Australia the 960s are $300+ for EVGA, Gigabyte, Asus, etc. The Gainward and Galaxy brands run up to $45 cheaper. Are these brands trustworthy? Also, what should I look for when comparing the same card just different brands, other than warranty and such. For example should I go with higher clock speeds, or will it not make a lot of difference?

I've heard of the Gainward brand but don't have any experience with them. Personally i would either stick with the Asus or MSI versions of the gtx960, they come pre-overclocked, their included software is excellent and both manufacturers have good support in the event of something going wrong

I'm well aware of the major brands like Asus, MSI etc. I am interested in knowing more about these two brands in the subject as if I can get similar product for $40 less than good deal. Main reason I am looking to save is because those won't be a massive upgrade from my 270X, I'm more interested in switching to nvidia, having a lot of tech that amd lacks, physx for example.
