The Gigabyte G1 also looks amazing, VRM cooling seems to be better on the G1 iirc. It's a Gigabyte though. I can tell you these FrozrV coolers are brilliant.

Great review, MSI Gaming cards are awesome.

Hilbert, on page 11 in the first chart (Noise level IDLE in DBa) there's a typo, it says Radeon R9 370 ASUS STRIX (4GB) instead of MSI GTX 980Ti Gaming 6G OC.

Ahw the chart you meant, thanks for the note. Will fix later today.

Go with MSI. I have heard lots of bad things about Gigabyte cards recently. I had bad luck with my MSI GTX 970 as it doesnt overclock _at all_, but I have found out to be alone with this. Gigabyte cards are known to have overclocking problems. As someone already explained, their software sucks. With MSI you also contribute in AfterBurner and its RivaTuner back-end, which is a good thing.

As a Gigabyte user I don't agree with what you just said. They overclock fine, better than my ASUS anyways, it doesn't do anything.

You don't have to use their software, or do you? You can only use Afterburner no?

Yeah I noticed that but I will be putting this under water. EK is working on a full-coverage water block.
