Good day dear colleagues.

Finally i updated my old CPU i5 4690 k to Ryzen 5 2600 and its running like charm...

But iam also planning to replace my GTX 1070 from Gainward to RTX 2070 as GTX 1070 is at top of it sellable price right now.

My question is.
Which RTX is better?
MSI GeForce RTX 2070 ARMOR 8 G

Or ?

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 WINDFORCE 8 G

Gigabite has three coolers but i dont have so good experiences with gigabite products ( one claimed MB and one GPU but maybe i just want RMA lottery )

:)

Whats yoru opinion guys?

Both cards costs same at my region ( 535 €)

What to pick ?

thank you .

Hi :)

Both those cards use the standard Nvidia PCB so their performance will be very similar but the MSI is clocked faster out of the box (1740Mhz) compared to Gigabyte's 1620Mhz. Apart from that the only real difference is size & cooling solution. The Gigabyte will probably be a slightly longer card.

Both cards are pretty good & Msi's 2 fan setup is known to perform equal to 3 fan setups.

If it was up to me id probably get the MSI 😉
Both of the chips inside are made by Nvidia. So there is not gonna be a huge difference. What you should look for is cooling and factory overclocks. The cooling for both of those cards will be about the same and they both have the same clock speeds. So there will be no difference between the two.

I have several gigabyte products as well as MSI and I have had good luck with both. I am sure that you will find people who like or dislike both manufactures, but they are both very well known. If you have not had good experiences with gigabyte, then go for the MSI because these cards are both the same.

The MSI 2070 Armor 8g has a boost of 1620mhz. The 1740mhz is for the MSI 2070 Armor 8g OC. They are two different cards.

Or there is also way to go to OC version. i Heard that they have different components

for example this one is only about 40 € expensive than MSI.
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 GAMING OC 8 G WHITE TU106-400A -
 


Sorry my bad, I didnt notice that :)

Makes no difference which GPU you get then
