Hellu!

So i have a dilema..

I cant make my mind about wich card to buy..

I wont overclock it.

I wont run it in SLI.

I just want efficiency & performance.

As i had about 3 cards burning out on me, i want a guarantee on the cooling performance..

Wich one do you suggest me to buy? Both and standard stocks.

Poll it!

Thanks in advance and sorry for my brainlessness!

Neither

Buy an MSI 580 Twin Frozr II/OC, that way you get awesome performance and quiet operation in 1 card

But what if i was too choose from one of those cards?

none of the above if you want good safe gpu get urself a EVGA 580 and forget bout it. EVGA is excellent in CS and has a great turn around if needed. Plus they dont care if you take it apart and re-tim it

I have a kfa2 gtx580.Its silent at 100% load.Even if i pushed to 935mhz @ 1.138v temps never got over 68c at 30% fan.Yes that was 68c at 30%(900rpm) fan.

I can highly recommend it if you want silence.

Anyone has a small mention between the two cards i mentioned?

KFA2 = WIN

Direct CUII. Beast cooler is a beast

Though if you're hitting the £370-£400 mark for your GPU budget I would strongly suggest you opt for a Gigabyte SOC

I know ASUS is more popular, the quality is excellent, and KFA2 is the European market for GALAXY that is a great manufacturer from America, and personal preference by curiosity from not knowing what KFA2 is like to use and feel I'd try KFA2. I think you wont do wrong with either

but that's stupid! lol I'd go ASUS to be sure & the cooler's better

I like KFA2's other coolers but a 3 fan cooloer, naa! and it's an old cooler I think they use it on the 400's
