i think either will do great, the evga would be like 1fps faster, but the gigabyte is cheaper and because it uses an aftermarket cooler with 3 fans they each can run at a lower speed rather than one fan maxed out to keep it cool like on the evga, and there for it should be quieter, not will be, but i think it should be, and it should also overclock better and easily match the evga's speed. But there is also the msi version with their frozr cooler which is supposed to be one of the best out there and is very high quality and well rated, so i'd get that if newegg gets them back in stock soon if that is where you are looking to buy from.
