Which version /g/?
>>55359125
Give me one good reason to even consider the Gigabyte version, given its inferior power circuitry, single 8-pin and smaller, noisier fans.
Both are awful and you should get neither.
Actually, I don't need any more competition for the good ones.
Definitely get one of these.
>>55359125
Neither are the RX480 so none
Why is /g/ so fucking stupid these days
>>55359169
Mad your shit 480 can barely stand up to the 970 :) androne
>>55359169
Keep the overheating, motherboard frying, non overclockable turd out of this conversation please, we aren't talking about low end cards here
>>55359169
>buy this cuck card, put your cock in a cage
Why?
>>55359169
What if the doesn't have a mobo capable of handing 250W spikes on the PCI-E lane?
>>55359125
Gigabyte, it has wider heatsink meaning more surface area so better cooling. It has 3 fans that are smaller than the MSI meaning it will have higher static pressure, therefore better fan performance per DB thus your fans will be quiter
Ordered the G1 because it's quite a bit cheaper here and it doesn't seem like I need extra power pins to fuck around with overclocking.
>>55359458
Then you shouldn't be getting a 960
>>55359481
Gigabyte doesn't know what the word quiet means. They probably run those fans at 16000 RPM.
>>55359497
Or a stock 480 as it happens.
>>55359481
>Gigabyte, it has wider heatsink meaning
G1: H=42 L=286 W=115 mm
Gaming X: H=42 L=279 W=140
The MSI cooler is larger overall. Try again, buddy.

You deserve a pat on the head
>buy a budget card
>worry about miniscule noise differences
How fucked are you in the head, really?
>>55359125
Why not buy from a quality manufacturer like sapphire or evga anon?
Among the two MSI is obviously better because gigabyte is literally poo tire.
MSI looks cooler too
>>55359765
>EVGA
>Quality
Oh, that's a good one
I've used a msi twin frozr 570 since 2011, and now I'm gonna buy a 1070, any reason not to go with msi? I'm quite pleased with the old one.
>>55359169
Dude ive been hype for the 480 but i just watched those gamer nexus faggots watercool a 480 reference and they managed a whopping 50mhz o/c for 1 fps gain.
Its pathetic at this point. AIB's will be overpriced hot garbage, crossfire 480's cant even beat the 980ti. AMD fucked up (again)
anything but gigabyte
>>55359125
EVGA! I think it's even a bit cheaper. Always go evga.
>>55359816
all the card are equally shit child labour quality so you either get the cheapest or the one with best warranty depending on how lucky you feel.
>>55359125
are 970s still a solid option?
Will they benefit from having a cuck card for physx and other nvidia memetics?
>>55359156
Because none of these makes a difference.
All overclock to artificially limited 2050~2100 and ~9200 on the memory.
Neither manages to become louder than the CPU fan at max load.
>>55359975
I am upgrading from a 550 ti and only play Overwatch, Doom and Dota 2.
Reminder that gaming is a stupid hobby faggots
>>55359975
The 1060 will be out in a few days/weeks so I'd really just wait. It's meant to walk over the 480 and I'd imagine around the $250-$300 price point.
>>55359995
Woah so this is the power of PC....games....
>>55360089
/g/ always insults how video games are for kids but shouldn't they be happy how all these kids are financing the GPU industry and pushing them making more powerful cards that the /g/entoomen can then use for their "grownup" tasks?
>>55359953
You get the one with 2x8pin power connectors.
>>55359125
the MSI Armor
no gamer red there
>>55360849
>choosing a video card based on aesthetics
Retard. You're no better than the faggots who actively seek out the red and black 2edgy4u components.
>>55359125
The cute version
>not getting the founders edition
Nigga what are you doing
>>55360007
>implying there are any non-stupid hobbies
>>55361307
How much are they charging for this little gpulet?
>>55363680
Sadly no price yet

gigabyte cards are better. and considering the 8pin vs dual 8pin doesnt make a damn difference when it comes to OC, i say go for the gigabyte
