So with that said which card would you recommend? The Gigabyte GTX670:

or the EVGA GTX670 FTW:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130787
Both of which have non reference PCB's (which I now understand the significance of thumb.gif)

I would go evga usually but seems gigabyte has had some good overclocking 670s with their current batch. The gigabyte has a more robust cooler so you can probably keep the fans at a lower rpm but my FTW does a great job keeping it cool too while overclocked.

Edit: my FTW has been a pretty good overclocker too though, better than the asus dcii 670 I originally purchased. The asus one is SILENT but overclocking has been hit n miss with all these 670's

Haven't OCed the CPU or the memory yet, so may be going up a little more. Could have gotten a few MHz higher for each, but I prefer even numbers than the extra 0.7 fps I could have had.
