Usually, you can't go wrong with ASUS or EVGA. MSI is also a good alternative.

None. 

Wait a week after launch so you can look at reviews and preformance charts. 

Then make your decision.

Asus warranty is not great

MSI has a service center in Canada

EVGA sometimes pays for shipping

Are you seriously gonna preorder a GPU? benchmarks haven't even been released yet. MSI or EVGA are the best imo.

Typically with gfx cards, they either go bad as you are opening the box or they don't go bad until lightning strikes your house.

 

Really, the biggest difference between those three that I have seen boils down to a choice of if you want Witcher, Minecraft, or GTA bundled with your card.

We have no idea what the actual performance of the 1070/1080 is and we also don't know what Polaris will bring to the table.

What? 

You don't want to buy a card that is shit, you don't want to be stuck with a GPU equivalent of the bulldozer CPU architecture.

 

Just wait, the MSI model will preform just as good as the ASUS or EVGA model and so on, so it doesn't really matter what brand you get preformance wise.

Friendly word of advice:

 

Never preorder new technology.

You can get Minecraft from a GeForce bundle? Da fuq?

 

Also, I'd probably go with EVGA. Have experienced their customer support myself, and I have nothing but good things to say about it.

a 1080 is a really good card even the worst 1080 will still be amazing it wont be a "GPU equivalent of the bulldozer"

How would you know, you only have what nvidia has told you. I am not saying the GTX 10x0 will be bad, just that it could be bad.

/sigh

 

The 1080 probably is a "really good card". It may even be the best when it is released. Right now we only have Nvidia's word on that. Now neither Nvidia nor AMD are known to lie, but both have been known to be misunderstood on occasion.

 

 

So a question for everyone. Will the 1070 ship will a full 8 GB or 7.5 +0.5 GB?

Wait and see for the benchmarks?

EVGA. You will not regret it. I have ordered over 20 EVGA cards and had not a single one fail.

First 2 MSI cards for a friends build, 1 was DOA and the other one broke after 3 hours of benchmarking (Only at 73 degrees, so not overheating issues

[GreezyJeezy]

i like gigabyte over all but for those eh probably EVGA or MSI

EVGA all the way, MSI (in my experience) is not that reliable
