G1 gaming or MSI.

 

MSI if you care about color scheme.

 

If not I suggest the G1.

 

Don't EVER get an Asus card. Ever. Don't do it. Stahp.

First, everyone who say, this or that is crap, or just throw a brand on you, without any Reason, should be ignored.

 

Here is a review of the Strix

Its very fast

 

I recommend the amp!extreme

Its faster.

msi is crap,at least as per my experience, latest and last msi product is my crappy msi gaming 5 motherboard.

 

I had many other stuff including GPUs and Boards from them , some are fine but most are crap.

 

My cousin's old GTX 770 for example had a coil whine !!! (none of my Gigabyte/Sapphire GPUs had a coil whine)

Ya do it please. I dont believe that your G1 boost to 1503 mhz without further OC from your side. That would be 220mhz more than the normal Factoryboost and thats way beyond winning the lottery. My boosts 70mhz more and that is lucky enough.
