Asus VS Gigabyte GTX 980

[UnicornStrength]

Hi i was wondering which is better, they are both the same price for me, i would like to know the maximum overclock it can get to on core and memory clock if possible, which is a better cooling solution, dont worry about watts, dont worry about length, im just worried about performance and sound.

Could you be more specific with the model?

Asus strix, gigabyte g1 gaming.

I say there is a slight difference between them yet. I like the look of the strix more but I'm sure gigabyte can overclock higher and is quieter.

go EVGA

My choice was the asus, and still is atm, but ive seen some talk around that gigabyte is the best, like i dont look at small stuff like, it can overclock 20mhz more.

gigabyte g1 has 2x8pins while the asus has an 8+6pin. the g1 chips are also binned, to a degree...

the g1 980 has some problems tho, so imo, id go for the evga ftw if u wanna oc.

gigabyte, ik this is off topic but u can get 2 970s for price of 1 980 and get much better performance/bang for buck
