A:Answer I'd suggest MSI is a superior brand. In almost every generation of cards for 20 years they have had the most innovative cooling and stability, Many models offer very good overclocking capabilities. If you read reviews of individual products you'll see Gigabyte and other brands have many more one star reviews and for scarier reasons. MSI are solid and stable and built like tanks. The specs may be better out of box on other brands, but this will still be in operation in 5 or 10 years. I'd suggest you got a great deal, they're selling 2060's for 3x this price at newegg these days. Bang for the buck this is the only series worth considering but are impossible to find. I really feel you lucked out finding this at this price with this brand.
