the performance difference between all 3 are very minimal. choose any of the 3 year warranty.

I would recommend the Asus card since it has a back plate as well. Performance wise both r similar. And the Zotac card has 5 yr warranty if um not mistaken.

Don't get the Asus. It's not capable of overclocking as high as the MSI.

i also thought of going for a msi card, what held me was that msi dose not have a backplate, so is there a real advantage in having a backplate ?

1st & 2nd Year from EGS and the rest of the 3 Years direct from ZOTAC. You need to ship the item to ZOTAC and they will ship it back to you. So you need to pay for 1 way.


These graphics cards feature a triple fan IceStorm enhanced cooling system, LIGHT.id reactive LED lighting system, customized Power+ circuitry, advanced OC Plus real-time performance intelligence and FireStorm Gamer Mode for expert adjustments to fine-tune overclocking with extreme precision to make these graphics cards simply extraordinary.

Mostly it's just for looks. However if you run two cards in SLI, the backplate of the bottom card might stop the heat of its board directly entering the card on top.

looks and for durability for the card/pci slot. may effect very slightly on the temps as well. couple of degrees max.

@OP i would go for the ASUS cus it looks better than the other two.

I'm hitting 1300 core and 1550 boost at stock voltage. Isn't that good?

Hitting 1550 and maintaining 1550 are two different things.

What I meant was I continuously get 1550, while occasionally dropping to 1500.
