My gigabyte temp sometimes high....but quite quiet leh.

Yours is rev 1 or 2? Maybe I'm used to watercooling so the fan just sounds loud to me. My Asus is better though.

They got both.

Ok guys, take note first.

The one with BF4 and the one without BF4 has a bit of difference in terms of PCB design and fan header wires placed.



Lai Spot the difference.

Top one is first batch card.

Bottom is with BF4 and 2nd batch launched.

If they have stocks then ok. Their price are good.

If no stocks they will pull stocks from other stores and sell you at SRP or the other shops pricing.

Do yourself lah. Or go Bro GS shop.

R9 280x is comparable with the gtx770. This 2 cards are of the same performance and price range for nvidia currently a bit stiff.

gtx760 is a lower tier card than the r9 280x.
