Yeah a lot depends on price.  I got the 1 aorus  719 and tax at newegg = 780  I have been running it since early april  it earns back nicely.

But I got those msi aero's under 600  they are good and 183 usd is a big price difference.

To be fair if I used the ebay sale for an aorus it would have been 780 - 57 in ebucks or 723

still 723 vs 597 it was an easy choice to get the msi..


also it is summer I get heat capped  so I am gentle on my cards  65-73% tdp   keeps stuff cool and saves power.

So the aorus  pushed has a bigger  tdp.

I guess I am saying  your setup matters a lot.  I don't see me running 20 aorus 1080 ti's this winter.  

But 20  msi aero and Founder cards this winter look possible to me
I will not be able to resell my cards in future it's not cheap in my country, planning to keep them until they are either dead or mining not worth it anymore.
I need a final decision and there are two main important points :
Tempreture is important since it goes up to 45C here, air conditioner is on all the time.
Electricity almost free no need to lower wattage.

So it's either
GIGABYTE AORUS
EVGA FE

Please advice
Thank you

I RMAed evga once, totally it took 7~8 business day to get it back. If you choose advanced RMA (you pay for a new card right away and get $ back later), I guess they could send it out the next day after RMA is approved.
