MSI or Gig both are grate brands and the trade offs between the two cards are almost negligible.
Also the MSI needs a picture,that's the only reason it has so little votes.
What are the chances the msi 980ti will be a drop? And what do you think the price will go down to? How long has the vote been on for and when might it become a drop? (Sorry I'm new here)
Literally zero chance. Graphics cards and the majority of PC parts have no reason to sell lower than retail since they're never worrying about sales. MD has said this many times, yet there's always a new poll each month asking.
It's reference for a reason. My GTX580s were reference and they're still 20% overclocked 5 years later and absolutely rocking....my power bill. Would love to get another reference-design GTX.
The Gigabyte has a higher GPU base and boost Clockrate compared to the MSI, they are both excellent, also 3 vents vs 2 vents could run quieter. The price is quite similar therefore i think the Gigabyte would an better investment.
I've seen the shootout of both cards and they're pretty neck and neck. But i have a MSI card now and also before that and they're pretty reliable already been 2 years now on these 660ti hiccups so i vote the 1 most relatable.
