I've been looking at getting the nvidia GTX 980, but I've been having a hard time chossing a manufacturer. I'm currently torn between both the reference and ACX designs from evga, the asus strix model, and the gigabyte windforce. I would love hearing some of the pros and cons of these models. Thanks!

Get Asus.

 

All pros, and the only cons might be the price but not by much. :P

Not an EVGA card after the stunt they pulled in showing they were being cheapskates.  I would say just get the card that is the most affordable unless of course it is EVGA.  Also avoid MSI if you can because of the Nvidia slapping of the wrist they got when they were doing things Nvidia didn't want them to do.  EVGA and MSI are on my **** list.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S
