My last 3 gpu have been gaming x and my next one 100% will be gaming x. I've been so impressed that I will definitely buy gaming x. They impressed me so much I decided to go with msi on next motherboard and so far the tomahawk is amazing.

I bought a 4gb 480 gaming x shortly after release and have had exactly 0 issues. The temps never even touch 70c, ever. Gaming for a hours I go check the highest temp hit and it's like maybe 63 or something really low.

I can't speak to how quiet it is since I always have music going, but I never notice anything.

This assumes the pricing is close. If the other one is 30$+ saving then get it. On my next card if the gaming x is a lot more than another well reviewed model I will buy the other one, but...

On my next card if the gaming x is a lot more than another well reviewed model I will buy the other one, but I would pay up to around 30$ more for this model and to have peace of mind. Last thing I ever want to do is have to mail my gpu off
