Hey Guys,

 

This is my first time posting here so hi everyone. I have a very serious question. Im looking to build a computer over the next few months as i save up money and my only real issue is a graphics card. So which one would you chose? I'm leaning with the Hybrid but Luke's video on the wind force killing a titan in most cases was awesome. I'm also curious if the wind forces 8x8 power connection has an advantage to the Hybrids 8x6. Thanks for the help.

The windforce has some extra power delivery, that's useful for overclocking...to a certain extent, the EVGA hybrid being watercooled should take the advantage, however, the silicon lottery always applies, so, there are probably hybrids beating windforces and viceversa, but my guess would be the hybrid usually takes the edge

I would get the Zotac Amp Extreme.

It looks like a great card. What are the main advantages? Is it quiet? that was another thing i have liked about the Hybrid was the low DB.

The Hybrid is a reference PCB with evgas water cooler slapped on. The G1 is a custum PCB with better power delivery. The g1 has the potential to be pushed farther but it always comes down to the silicone lottery. both are great, but dont think the added cost of they hybrid is worth it when it comes to price to performance.

 

I love my G1

To be honest, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, EVGA, they all make great cards. I'd avoid zotac because they went too big with the cooler and it's honestly the first card i'd be afraid it could snap a PCIe port off my mobo. I love how the Asus strix look, gigabyte is always great, MSI gaming 6G is great too, EVGA is kinda weird cause they have like 9 versions, but any of the superclocked ones are good. Not worth going crazy over, i would get the Gigabyte G1 gaming, the MSI gaming 6G or most likely the Asus strix cause i think it looks sick. EVGA is totally fine too, for me their naming is too complicated, and it's hard to find the specific card you chose in a given retailer.

It is the best stock air cooled 980ti you can buy, it is also bined as fuck.

Let me get a owner of one to tell you how it performs.

Hi there.

 

My Exp. with the amp!extreme.

 

It´s cool, quiet, has an insane amount of power and can be OCed stable to 1550mhz.

Factory boost is constant 1418mhz@67° under Load. And that is more than enough to run everything maxed out with full AA in 1440p.

 

My Case Fans are 29,3dB (3in 4out) loud and i can´t hear the Graphics Card when it´s under Load.

It has zero coil whine and the overall build Quality is top.

 

For example here some Frames i get with my 1440p Monitor. Everything maxed out and maximum AA (which isn´t necessary).

Without AA almost every Game jumps way above 100FPS.

 

FC4 ~70FPS

Witcher 3 (with heavy tweaked Ini, Hairworks off) ~70FPS

BF4 ~100FPS

Killing Floor 2 ~100FPS

Path of Exile ~180FPS

Crysis 3 ~70FPS

GTA5 ~50FPS

 

Have in mind that this Card is huge (3slots) and very heavy. You need space and good airflow.

 

Every 980Ti is fast, no doubt, but the amp!extreme is real badass.

 

Regards.

 

ToT´s Review:

 

As you can see. FuryX, TitanX and 980Ti gets destroyed merciless.
