What GTX 980 should I buy. I'm looking for the best SINGLE CARD performance. I know there is a lot out there so I wanna know which one to get.

 

I'm thinking of getting the EVGA GeForce GTX980 Superclocked ACX2.0 4GB so, let me know what you think AND WHY.

Well if you want the absolute best single card performance on a GTX 980, get the EVGA Classified or Kingpin, but those are popbably out of budget range. I would recommend the GTX 980 G1 Gaming. It has a great cooler and supposedly binned chip to allow for higher overclocks.

I like my MSI Gaming 4G, it's quiet and overclocks like a beast.

Best version is the PNY OCed (the non-reference one). Because it's white.
