  1. 1. What is better

    • Asus strix gtx 1080
      4
    • Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming gtx 1080
      6


Neither. Both companies have terrible support. EVGA, MSI, Zotac, Galax - anything but Asus/Gigabrick

Evga/Msi.

 

But in all seriousness, you'd only notice a 1 - 3fps difference between vendors so, whichever is cheaper/looks better/you trust more.

So would MSI twin frozer be good?

Really gotta wonder why people have that attitude lol. Always so much hate and repeated hate. I wonder where the actual truth is in statements like that lol.

Between the two, the Xtreme Gaming has objectively better specs, but realitistically with how pascal works, you can overclock them to about the same area and get about the same performance (within 1 or 2 fps of each other). Same goes for pretty much every other 1080 out there.

In my case, personal experience

Supportquality depends on the country you live in / where you bought the card. I can't speak for Gigabyte but Asus has great support in Germany/USA, maybe Asus support sucks in bulgaria, OP should make a quick google check about the support in his country. EVGA&MSI are great retailers as well. The fps won't actually be a lot different at the end, so OP choose a card from named retailers with decent cooling and take the cheapest one.
