The title says it all. Which cooler/brand should I get on a new 980ti. I'm not worried about price.

I'd wait a few days for the rest of the lineup to be announced & released.

Right now the Superclocked ACX+ from EVGA with the backplate for $679 looks like a good deal though.

I love the gigabyte coolers, plus they have multi-color led lights. 

I run my own indie game company called Color Dragon Studios where we are currently making a 2d platformer game called Small Earth.

I wouldn't say top, since there are cards better than the G1, (matrix, HOF, Classified and the highest end) but for price to performance and good overclockability, it's quite high up on the list.

I would say EVGA as their StepUp program is a lifesaver if anything new comes out, but I think the 980ti is safe for a while.

MSI ? :D

 

G1 gaming will probably be the best for performance/overclocking again.

 

Does it needs to be as small as possible?

LED important?

Silence important?

Performance (good overclocks) important?

aesthetics important?

backplate important?

Good Customer support

 

etc, not a single brand is the best in "everything" :P

 

MSI/EVGA/Asus/G1 gaming etc will always be safe/good options. It depends on what you want.

G1 probably but I'd wait for the rest to come out

24 fps for that "cinematic" feel


After a couple weeks of behavioral sciences at my school I can easily conclude my parents need to grow up.

Asus's Poseidon series is always a good option for me, nice choice of having either water cooled GPU or air cooled, might as well have the option for both.

Excellent gpu core cooling, and quiet fans. The gpu fan only has to cool the chips, so it stays very slow, and you can switch out the fan on the radiator for a high quality noctua quiet fan or what ever fans you like. Altogether = Better, Quieter Gaming

 

I am actually ordering an eVga 980ti hybrid now to ho in my LAN computer (yeah, I AM crazy)

It would pretty much be biased opinion right now. I'd wait for reviews of the cards. Although Zotac's Amp Extreme is probably going to be the one I get. The clock speeds are ridiculous; performing better than the Titan X stock and they are reputable with very positive reviews of their previous cards. Plus I was able to find the Amp Extreme for 689$ on Sabrepc. That is a smoking deal. MSI has been a pretty reliable cooling option with their Twin Frozr design and Gigabyte is fantastic with their Windforce cards. Can't say too many positive things about EVGA as I feel their cooling solutions are weak, except for the watercooled and Kingpin cards.

I'm going to punch your face- IN THE FACE.

Zotac GTX 980 Ti AMP! is pretty slick looking for Air but EVGA Hybrid wins if money is no issue. You'll be beating the Titan X by Ocing and staying quiet and cool.
