I would still recommend EVGA more if you want to pay the extra money.

EVGA ACX also gets my vote. Best card on the green team right now IMO

I've had issues with multiple GB WindForce GeForce cards recently.

Interesting, I've had two Gigabyte cards, never had any problems with them. What were your issues?

 

 

As long as you dont buy a PNY card im happy....... I had 4 different GTX 780's and they all burnt out on me -.-

Had my 750 Ti and a 770 used in a build for a friend, both Windforce, have very noisy fans out of the box. Even at idle they were incredibly loud and audible outside the case. Exchanged my 750Ti for a DCU2 one and the DCU doesn't even get as loud on 100% fan speed as the Windforce did at idle. My friend went to exchange for another Windforce 770 that was a lot quieter, but the outermost fan didn't work. Switched to an ACX version, and I've stuck with them for GeForce cards ever since then. After three bad WindForce cards, ASUS and EVGA for me.

I like the look of the Galaxy cards. They're in white and they're meant for extreme overclocking (like LN extreme ).

 

They do carry a bit of a premium but if I was going 780 I'd go with a Galaxy card.

My windforce rev 2 gtx 770 is pretty damn quiet. I'm genuinely surprised, I was expecting it to be loud lol. That's odd though, when I had a 290x DCUII at even 50% fan speed my ears were bleeding. The coolers used on the 290x and 780 DUCII cards are extremely similar.

I honestly have no idea what's available in Denmark but I'd go in this order: EVGA ACX, Asus DCUII, MSI Twin Frozer.

 

This video may help.

My opinion is the ASUS, the cooler is superior and very quiet allowing you to push it further than most other cards.

[KappaKing]

For $650 you can get an MSI Lightning which is basically the cream of the crop when it comes to overclocking a 780.

I would imagine that it's the kind of branding that companies do to make all their products similar. All DCUII cards look the similar, all WindForce cards look similar, all Nissans look similar, you get the idea.
