Which GFX card ?

**mhf2** · 06-29-12 at 07:17 AM

Hi everybody
I wanted to know which manufacturer you think is best as to give me a better idea of which I should buy as each of the gfx cards only have a couple of £'s between each other.

Im kinda a fanboy of msi tbh but still wanted an opinion :P

Msi = £349 ish
Gigabyte = £340 ish
Inno 3d Herculez = £336 ish

Cheers

inno 3d hercules 3000 is gtx 680, so I would say it's lower quality (when you compare the price). I would chose MSI, or maybe Zotac. I own zotac gtx 560 ti, and I'm pleased with it. If you find Zotac GTX670 or 680 it would be a great choice.

3 versions of Zotac gtx 680:

Code: Select All

3 versions of Zotac gtx 670:

Code: Select All

http://www.zotac.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=100288&lang=en&vmcchk=1&Itemid=100288

Notice that all three zotac gtx 680 versions come with Assasins Creed three-game pack.

Inno 3d is for the Asian markets not recommended for European markets.

You're left between the MSI & the Gigabyte GTX 670. From my point of view, I would choose MSI for their better custom air cooler rather than the three fan design.

Really I would take either msi or giga (who am i kidding i would take any one right now)

Gigabyte GTX 670 Oc
- have it
- superb VGA
- windforce is the best non-stock cooling solution out there (silent & powerfull =
Twin Frozr III is louder)
- best price/performance ratio for a 6xx nVidia VGA
- slick looks :)

Either MSI or Gigabyte, you cant really go wrong with either, pretty much boils down to which you can get a better deal on. Personally Ive found MSI makes some pretty solid products but I dont think youll be disappointed regardless of your choice.

I have had 5 EVGA cards ranging from the 8 series all the way up to the 5 series. I have never had memory or gpu problems. NO RMA's!
