What the best GTX 295 is? And brand doesn't matter?
That makes no sense ^^
There is GTX295, and then it have different manufacturers like XFX, EVGA, etc..

In most cases there is no difference. If you just want the card, go for the cheapest brand you can find.
Unless the brand touches the card and overclocks it a bit, the higher price will only come from additional software and little goodies which you don't need.

Ye what Crystal said.
But ofc some brands can have different coolers..
Some of Gigabytes cards have a thingy called "Ultra durable", they run a bit cooler than other cards, even though they have the same cooler. They are cooler because they have extra thick copper layers and use high quality japanese capacitors and some other stuff. And those cards don't cost more than other "normal" cards.
But unfortunately Gigabyte doesn't seem to have the GTX295 in ultra durable version.

Just make sure you pick the single PCB version of GTX295, it runs a bit cooler than the double PCB version.
