Don't really know which is the best, but they'll all be pretty much the same performance. I tend to go for brands like EVGA, Gigabyte and Asus for Nvidia cards.

He's kidding. I think

Joking mate. Also, it's always best to go with a single better GPU than to crossfire or sli GPUs because of the support it gets from games, it doesn't scale well in quite a few games or at least until the drivers come out. Not worth it over a single bad ass GPU.

You think right, sir!

Nothing unfortunately, 2-Way SLI 970's perform about the same as a 980ti but costs around the same, same goes for 2-Way Xfire with 290x's

So I should just go for 980 ti?

Yup.

Also, my mate knows nothing about PCs and he just bought a Nvidia GTX 980, he wants to oc, is it a good idea?

If you're playing at a high resolution (1440p or 4k) the 295x2 (and as such 2 R9 290X's would outpeform the 980ti):

But because of the heat production and the possible problems with SLI/crossfire I think the 980ti is the way to go.

 

Offtopic: something is cheAper or at a lower price

R9 295x2

 

I have one, its fine, wouldnt suggest overclocking it, cuz I did that, and now it uses 650-700w on its own accord....

Overclocking is fine.  Just watch a few youtube guide videos take your time, go in small increments and watch your temps.  If you don't touch your voltage its very safe indeed.

For your choice of 980ti :

 

I would go EVGA ACX 2.0 SC+ because of the awesome warranty decent price and good cooling.

My amp!extreme´s Score is even higher with 19689.

depending on where you live an r9 295x2 is much cheaper and more powerful.

however you'll run into crossfire issues and other related things such as poor scaling and micro stuttering.

but in cases that have been optimised as well as having a decent crossfire driver then you'll get better performance.

but a single card is always better. and the 980ti will beat the 295 in most cases.

Could always steal them, for the price of free

And my G1 gaming scores 22246, its all silicon lottery, any good chip from any manufacturer will exceed average chips from others.

Nice Score. I guess my i5 hold it back a bit.

Is that graphic score only or total?

 

my OCd 295x2 scores 22038 at graphics alone.......

Dual GPU´s dont count. I rather have no microstutter.
