Looking at the Asus and the gigabyte, the extra price of the gigabyte 
seems to be the passive cooling solution, which it is normal to pay 
extra for from what I can determine.....

 From bitter experience over the last 5~6 years a fan on a hi-end 
graphics card cannot actually be replacedd easily, if at all....so I am 
all for passive cooling if possible. think I have lost all three of my 
hi-end video cards due to this....
