My head hurts. Can't decide between MSI 980TI or EVGA 980TI Hybrid

[TheConverter]

Which one is the best and why?

 

I could go with the MSI one because it's cheaper, better availability and because it will be easier to sell when I want to upgrade.

 

Or I could go with the EVGA Hybrid one, because it's way cooler,quieter but it's a bit more expensive and it isn't availabe anywhere (here in the Netherlands)

 

Thanks.

EVGA just for the warranties 

[Ridska]

Go ballz to the wallz or go home , thats what i say .

SO buy the EVGA Hybrid .

[TheAmazingCookieFromSquare]

EBGA HYBRAID.

 

It's a freggin watercooler for cheaper then a air cooler.

[connorpiper]

EVGA

 

I personally think it looks better. Plus it is a water cooler. And will be quiet even when OC'd. Plus, more money when and if you sell it on later.

Yeah but EVGA is reference and MSI = Custom PCB.

 

I could also go with the Gigabyte one but damn that thing is long/heavy.

EVGA just for the warranties

Yeah, i really hope it will be available soon.

 

I willl be installing the 980TI in this case guys:

 

[connorpiper]

It still gets into the high 1400s when overclocked. 

[TheAmazingCookieFromSquare]

Cheaper? Where lmao.

I read quieter as cheaper lol

[TheConverter]

It still gets into the high 1400s when overclocked. 

 

Yeah, should be enough.

 

Inb4 some crazy new EVGA card comes in 1-2 months with oc in the 1600's.

The hybrid classified.

If you have money for custom loop you might aswell buy a TITAN X Hybrid and then OC it.

 

Also if you have more card in SLI a custom loop would be hotter.

id get a zotac card, all their 980tis come with 5 year warranties. I have a reference one and its a beast. 

I also have an air 540 case, and i plan to add an AIO cooler to my GPU as it runs at about 85c under full load gaming, ambient temp was 30c so a 55c delta.

Lmao who the fuck cares about 5 years? I don't even think I'm gonna use this card for 1 year because Pascal cards will make all cards on the market worthless.

then if you're that flippant about not having the card long, why care which 980ti you get.. all will perform within a 5% margin.. that margin won't make a difference now, and it won't make a difference in a years time.

Plus i wouldnt buy into the Pascal rumours just yet.. look what happened to AMDs game changer

 

also selling a card even if its a year old with 4 years warranty still on it.. mean people will pay more if they're on a budget looking for a card for longevity!

If the 980ti Galaxy comes out soon, I might have to donate my left testicle to get one of those beauties!

I'm also doing a white/black build, so a black card like Gigabyte/EVGA would be the best 

 

By the way, the HOF edition are really overpriced, they even cost more then watercooled editions.

Ik zou voor de Hybrid gaan als je het kan betalen. Aan de andere kant is het wel weer iets dat geluid kan maken (de pomp) en sneller kabot kan gaan.

Maar je bent toch al voluit gegaan voor de 980Ti dusja, dan kan je het evengoed GOED doen (heb zelf een 980ti G1 besteld voor 700)

I would go for the Hybrid. Go balls out if you can afford it.
