Msi=XFX=Asus=Gigabyte=Sapphire

Gigabyte is the higher spec, marginally but more expensive. I think it looks stupid too, the MSI card looks so much more tidy.

I wouldn't say it looks stupid, but I also like the way the MSI cards look. But the thing is, according to the prices he gives in his post, the msi hawk is 230eur/305$ and the gigabyte is 189eur/250$. I would go gigabyte then. It is cheaper and higher clocked. And atleast gigabyte is a decent type of card. If the prices where the other way around, I would then choose the hawk.

gigabyte SOC FTW! amazing cooling and the gigabyte produccts i have untill now realy proved to be quality!
btw XFX are a great company and you they really shine in the new 7xxx series with there DD cooling(double dispation or someting like that) and evga only makes nvidia cards and most of her cards are with stock cooling(they have some after market cooling but they are pretty rare, I.E evga classified water cooled gtx 590)
