I'm not asking anybody to subscribe, I only have like 23 subs and I don't make any money off this so I don't see how..

I buy these cards with my own money and do reviews and comparisons because I like to think they help people decide which to buy or just to entertain people who are curious about which one is better.

I post them up here for that exact reason.

He posted in the member review section, so I don't see why it would be a problem.

 

I feel like when it comes down to the higher end aftermarket cards, most of them perform roughly the same. I would have personally bought the Gigabyte card, because I had a good experience with them in the past.

 

 

Either way, I thought it was a great review. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, good to see another GPU comparison from you. I'll have to watch this a bit later when I'm actually free to.

Thanks very nice comparrison.

 

What is exaclty better on the powercolor you talked about? Since the powercolors are often the most cheap ones arround, then this could be very interessting :)

 

About the windforce and the TriX its offcourse obvious that the TriX is the better card in terms of cooling and noise.

I made another video which put the Tri-X up against the PCS+ card from powercolor and the PCS+ is better in almost every way aside from size (its huge) but its quieter, cooler, faster and has a backplate.
