Which of these two do you recommend?

I really like the Gigabyte, but the MSI has more reviews on Amazon.

I owned 2 of the Gigabyte models and loved them. Nice and quiet and cool.

This is personal preference. I would go for the MSI, but others may like the gigabyte better. It's up to you.

I would go with Gigabyte. Seem to hold up better than any MSI product that I ever bought. I have a Gigabyte GTX 670 and its better than even the EVGA cards I had in the past

I bought the MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozer card and it has been one of the best cards i've ever purchased. Very quiet and powerful.

I'd have to say MSI based on my own experience. My previous card was an Asus and i was happy with that as well.

I have a Gigabyte (2x WF), would have actually preferred a blower fan that blows hot air OUT rather than that Windforce HSF. Other than that, both cards are good, IMO. The Gigabyte (own experience and also from what I read) might overclock not as well on the core but memory might overclock well - then again, you can get lemons or good overclockers with either brand.

I also own an MSI and confirm it is an excellent card, Gigabyte are also excellent though.

Buy the cheaper of the two imo.

I just like MSI stuff better. When all else similar I go for the card with more reviews as long as its strongly positive reviews.

every gigabyte graphics card i've owned has failed in the first year. i had a gtx 460 card that was sent in no less than 7 times, until they stopped taking it. every time i got it back, it was either not fixed, or it started artifacting days after getting it. that was my worst experience.

have had more gigabyte motherboard failures than any other brand on that front too. maybe they just hate me cause i see a lot of people love their gigabyte products :/
