[SOLVED] Msi or gigabyte on rx 570 for my needs

[Just MoD]

Is MSI rx 570 Armor 8G OC or Gigabyte rx 570 Gaming 4g good. In terms of performance, durability, cooling. I will use it for 2d/3d animation, Programming, Android Studio, Aftereffects, blender, Video editing, Photoshop etc and a little gaming. Can you list out the difference between the two. Any help would be appreciated!

The GIGABYTE Model is much better than the ARMOR series of Video cards. Even the MSI model isn't bad, but the Armor series are mostly budget oriented GPUs, and they lack advanced PCB cooling featured on high-end SKUs.

I think the Gaming is Gigabyte's equivalent of the "base" model, so to speak.

Just by eyeballing it, for MSI, the Armor MK2 cooler seems more capable than the original Armor cooler.

That said, the RX 570 isn't a particularly high end, demanding card, so I don't think you can really go wrong with either. The actual differences are pretty minimal, performance-wise.


Now, if you're in the US, after mail-in-rebate, the Sapphire Pulse version is $119.99, and that is definitely a capable cooler - not on the level of the Sapphire Nitro, but still good.
