Here's how you chose pascal cards. Out of all your options:

  1. Throw away any blower style and single fan cards. Keep only dual / triple fans and hybrids.
  2. Throw away the ones you don't like the color scheme. For example, I don't like black and red, so the MSI Gaming ones would be immediately out for me. Keep only the ones you find aesthetically pleasing.
  3. Sort them by price.

Pick the first one that shows up. Or pay a bit more if you REALLY like the looks of a more expensive card. Outside of that, not really much of a difference between them.

Ok...because i was always comparing them on newegg by the perfs even if they are closely the same, but i guess i can't see any difference. So i'll go for the best look! x) Thx

Just keep in mind that some users have complained about the coil noise or the fans being to loud on some of the GPU's. for example, i bought the G1 Gaming from Gigabyte because i liked the look of it the most, but then read some pretty nasty shit about the coil noise and such. I didn't have a chance to install it yet, i'll only be able to do that on Saturday, but i've heard the MSI ones are better with concern to the coil noise and fan noise. But i'm really put off by the color scheme of those. If you can return them without hassle, i would go for the looks and test them out. If return is an issue where you live (like here in Romania) maybe you should read some more reviews from users on forums (the reviews made by the popular outlets are not actually representing the reality of things because the manufacturers sent hand-picked GPU's that will obviously not have any coil noise, etc).
