ASUS Matrix vs Gigabyte G1 Windforce (x3) - GTX 980

Is it me or there's very few reviews of the former? I'm trying to compare both cards.

Only comparative review I could find was the one of Hardware Canucks, where the Matrix only emits 50°C at full load, while it is 68°C for the Gigabyte.

I looked at some benchmarks where there were most of the GTX 980 and 970, and the Matrix was alway in the top, the first. I don't know nothing more, I'm sorry.

Not worth it. Both are crazy overpriced. Get MSI Gaming or Gigabyte Windforce G1 970 SLI and mop the floor with a 980 by 45-65%. A max overclocked 980 will only beat a Mac overclocked 970 by 15-17%, but cost 60% more. When SLI doesn't work, the extra performance of a 980 will hardly matter but when SLI works, 970 SLI will provide a way better gaming experience.
