The two GeForce GTX 670s are identical in this test:

Sniper Elite V2 Benchmark
This is the most resource-consuming application on our list. It needs 1.3 gigabytes even at 2560x1440 without antialiasing and 2 gigabytes with 4x MSAA. After switching to 3240x1920, it needs 1.8 and 2.85 GB of graphics memory with antialiasing off and on, respectively.

However, our GeForce GTX 670s only differ at the highest resolution:

Although the EVGA is almost twice as fast as the Gigabyte, the frame rates are too low for comfortable play.
