They're both kickass cards; you can't really go wrong with either one, but if I had to pick, I would probably go with the Gainward. They're "Golden Samples" are known to be good overclockers (although in Anand's test, the Asus did overclock a bit higher), and I've heard they have some of the best 2D compared to other Geforce3 cards. Also, they're a usually a bit cheaper. Unless you really need the extra video connections that come with the Asus Deluxe, I would save some money and get the Gainward.
