So I am debating on which 270x to get and I ran into these two right here the MSI and the Asus there original prices are a whole hundred USD away from each other so what is so different between these two cards to make such a price gap, and any suggestions to which 270x I should purchase. Thanks!

Some fan designs run cooler and the companies often change up the PCB.

The benchmarks say that this is the best one:
