How good/bad is the Gainward as graphics card company compared to ASUS in these days?

Hey,

Planning to buy a new rig with a GTX 1070 Ti. First I chose the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce® GTX 1070 Ti, but then an offer came with better price tag (like -30% cost in my country): Gainward GeForce® GTX 1070 Ti(not the Phoenix edition). Now I'm wondering, is the ASUS worth the price difference or not? How's the Gainward reputation compared to other companies?

Not worth the difference in $$$ , get the Gainward , they make decent cards.

30% difference means the Gainward is definitely the better choice. The Gainward non Phoenix model will have a less fancy cooler than the Phoenix or the ASUS ROG Strix, but the performance of a 1070 Ti is more dependent on your luck in the silicon lottery than on the model you buy.

So the Gainward may not look as nice and in the worst case be a tiny bit hotter/louder, but the performance will be pretty much the same for 30%(!) less money.
