MSI or GALAX?

SamuraiJack

I want to get a new graphics card for Christmas and i have two in mind, the MSI gtx 980 ti - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127902&cm_re=gtx_980_ti-_-14-127-902-_-Product       or  the GALAX 980 ti  -   http://galaxstore.net/GALAX-NVIDIA-Geforce-GTX-980-TI-HOF-6GB-FREE-GAMER-L-240GB-SSD-BUNDLE_p_41.htm   , i have a white themed build and these are like the only 980 ti cards that are white. What do you guys thing is the better card. i know the GALAX one comes with a SSD so thats cool.

If cost isn't an issue I'd pick the Galax card. Not only you get an SSD, it is also faster out of the box.

 

 

Unfortunately the galax

What's bad about galax?

I know there's one from here that's coco for coco puffs. But I don't think he uses Galax anymore.

Who wouldn't be glad to have a card who can perform as much as a kingpin which is $200 more than my galax, also white build ftw.

Nope never heard of Galaxy either, although I am amused they went all trendy and lost the 'y'

 

And anyone can brand their cards "hall of fame" its a tagline and meaningless

I'd call HoF cards the sexiest cards on earth so far :P. And who the hell knows why they removed the y lol.

Saying "Unfortunately Galax" because they have fanatic fanboys is like saying "Unfortunately Intel/AMD/Nvidia"

Didn't someone argue about 'not using' crown symbol cause my product isn't the best? Jesus bro, you sound like my mom. 

 

Just saying, like on my current situation, I got spare $4.5k to dish out on this holiday- if I was to get another GPU I'd pickup another HoF no questions ask.

Didn't your argument last night boiled down to symbol using? Just cause my Galax doesn't coil whine like your G1, doesn't mean I can't praise it.

 

Seriously, OP is probably better off either Galax or MSI white version- it's better than puny G1 whiners.

I don't see the G1 getting close to Kingpin/HoF/Lightning in overclocking ranking worldwide. 

 

That's a good deal then if you got it $400? Considering nobody's been buying it due to rampant coil whine complaints.

It was rampant on any 970 esp EVGA ftw, and 980ti on G1 and Strix. I sure hope they fix it, they were my number 1-2 choice before I got my gpu.
