Somewhere your not.
Hey!
I've been wanting a new GPU, and I think its time to get a new one.
I saw these great GPUs that are really good for my wallet.
They are both GTX 960s but they have different specs and features.
So here goes:
Asus GTX 960 Strix DC2OC 2GB 128Bit GDDR5 VS
MSI GTX 960 Gaming 100ME 2GB 128Bit GDDR5

Hi,
I would usually consider the mother board I had and see what they offer,
Unless you've already ruled that out ?
GIGABYTE - Graphics Card

But yea EVGA has some cool stuff a new water cooled design which is just a wild concept I'm waiting for :)
But so does ASUS especially the 20th anniversary goodies :p

The problem with EVGA is there is not too many EVGA GPUs In our country, Which would you prefer Asus GTX 960 or the MSI one.

If you could up your budget for a bit, I'd save for a GTX 970.
