Not gigabyte. There cards for some reason have a performance decrease. If you want improved compatibility try to match the motheboard manufacturer to the GPU Manufacturer. I would personally go with ASUS. Its really a matter of which one looks better to you inside of your system.

 

EDIT:

I like to have 2GB of GPU memory per monitor that I have.

Go with the Tri-X or the Twin-Frozr. The others have crappy cooling solutions.

In the case of ASUS, they recycled the GTX 780 DCU2 cooler, which doesn't make contact properly and so temperatures soar to 90 degrees with it. Asus dropped the ball on that one.

Yes. Exactly on the Asus info. I run 2 Vapor-X cards. In Xfire, the top card runs 81*C with Intelligent fan enabled.

Tri-X or my personal choice is the PowerColour PCS+ at the moment, I was lucky enough to test in a friends PC and it's baller. If available of course.
