My PC doesn't have a GPU because I didn't know that 980ti would be way more expensive in my country. Therefore, I was $150 short for the GPU when building my new PC

I've saved up enough money to buy GTX 980ti with my bf tomorrow so can you guys give me some advice (average gdp of Vietnam is $1100, yah it sucks)

MSI GTX 980ti for $825 or ichill inno3d GTX 980ti for $780 

(I'm using USD for an easier comparision)

if you're able to get a gigabyte 980Ti, i heard those are pretty amazing.

 

otherwise my vote will go for MSI.

 

both the brand, and the little fan on the side of the "ichill" card kinda turn me off...

 

EDIT their cooler design also reminds me too much of my gigabyte HD5770 that fell apart...

Is it the X3 Ultra? If so get that one! It looks bad ass and actually has really nice performance numbers.

Are you thinking reference design for MSI?

Welcome to the forum :)

the X4 is $800. I heard reference card has heat and noise problem. My room is pretty hot so I'm not going to get it.

its mostly the fact i"ve never heard about them.

 

a while back there was a segment on WAN show about "colorful" that deals with a similar deal in the west half of the world.

basicly, they're not known here, which quickly makes people unsure about the quality they're about to receive.

 

a similar comparison would be i'd NEVER buy a "huawei" phone before i saw someone use it, and have the guy tell me they're awesome phones.

Pick whatever is cheaper. Inno3D is a great brand and the iChill cooler is great.

That triple fan cooler doesn't look too great but you can't lie, this one looks pretty neat. At least in my opinion. :P

 

With that being said I'd vote for the MSI one as well.
