MSI GTX 1080 SEA HAWK EK X vs ZOTAC GTX 1080 ArticStorm

I have a dilemma between the cards in the title. If someone could help me choose, and explain why would they choose that graphics card. Thanks.

see here for a list of specs and reviews for the cards http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3047729/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1000-series-megathread-faq-resources.html#17902598

either card will net the same performance for you. so really the price/looks of the card is what should be the deciding factor. as you can see from the link, the specs are very comparable except the zotac uses 2 x 8-pin vs the single one for the msi card.

they are both very solid cards that reviewed well, so you can't go wrong with either one.

Yea I'm probably gonna go with zotac because of 2x 8 pin and it's cheaper. I also saw that msi got overclocked to 2GHz and Zotac got an oc 2.1Ghz.

For MSi you most likely will be paying a few extra bucs because you pay for the brand. Just like an overpriced macbook. Just go with the Zotac one.
