Zotac´s amp! extreme is a superior Card. Get it , enjoy it.

Well the Asus one will probably take a long time to get in stock due to some manufacturing error.

I heard allot of good stuff about the amp extreme, but keep in mind that it us a 3 slot card. So if you ever want to sli make sure you have enough space.

Evga generally has good cards plus good warranty, but if you get a superclocked one you will have a reference pcb.

Msi has custom pcb. Is very quite while staying cool. And I heard it is a good overclocker but don't quote me on that.

People be looking for a reason to flame.

MSI and Gigabyte are the better choices. I have the gigabyte one and it's very good and super quiet.

Well that depends on your fan curve and what game you are playing, but mine is generally not that quiet xD. But I still love mine. I play with a headset on anyway.

Gigabyte has serious Quality Problems. The amount of coil whine G1´s here is ridiculous.

And both are slower than than amp! extreme before OC.

 

amp! extreme is very big and heavy which can cause Problems for some Cases/Boards though.

It is a triple slot card though which could get you in to trouble later on.

My G1 has no issues at all. No coil whine or whatever else. I don't care if it has a lower base clock, it definitely OCs just fine.

Good to hear that.  :)

The Power of the G1 is without a doubt very good.

But it´s the Card i read the most negative about in case of coil whine and noise on LTT.

Well I think I listed the pro's and con's of the cards you mentioned. Other then that it is a personal choice.

Previous Generations are not a good example. Quality and Performance Background changed a bit with the 980Ti´s.

My 980 ti sc acx 2.0 is great. I can hit 1500mhz core on most games and roughly 7700 on the memory. My stable oc is 1443 and 7400. Runs whisper quiet and under 70*C at 4k with a quiet fan curve.

All 980Ti´s are very good and fast Cards.

Some are a bit faster some slower, but on a absolutly Highend level. No matter what Card you choose, you will have extreme Power.

But there is the Silicon Lottery which can be lucky for you or not.

There is no quaranty that you get a card that OC´s well or have no coil whine.

 

Since i own only the Zotac amp!extreme i can only tell you about my experience with this card.

 

I choosed it because i wanted absolutly highend without the OC Lottery and i got lucky, it boosts to 1418mhz instead of 1355mhz which is in the product description.

 

The Card is extreme fast, silent and cool

But its very heavy and extreme huge (3slots)

Just avoid the reference cooler like the plague. Its not adequate for the 980 ti, which is the hottest running GPU since the GTX 480.

 

All the non reference models seem to perform roughly the same, IE hotter and louder than what people are used to, but cool enough to avoid throttling the boost clock. The Strix seems to perform worst in terms of temps and the G1 in terms of noise, but peoples mileage may vary.

 

I would just go with whichever one looks the best to you.
