I can't decide between a Gigabyte 970 G1 Gaming and an Evga 970 acx 2.0. Any personal experiences with these two cards?

EVGA cheaped out with 4 phase power delivery while Gigabyte is 6. Plastic shrouds in 2014 vs all metal also looks hella tacky.

Gigabyte Windforce.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

The G1 gaming has a higher factory OC, in addition to what has been said above, than all EVGA 970s except for the FTW and Classified editions.
