The cooler design is the main difference between non-reference designs from different third party companies. Out-of-the-box overclocks are also quite common. 

EVGA is quite renowned for making good cooler designs for Nvidia GPUs, MSI and Gigabyte also have their Gaming 6G and G1 Gaming cards respectively. 

Not sure which out of them is the best though. 

CPU: Intel i7 8700K | CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 | RAM: Kingston HyperX 2x8GB | Motherboard: Asus ROG Z370-E | GPU: MSI GTX 970 | HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB & 2TB | SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB & 970 EVO M.2 500GB | Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X | PSU: Silverstone Platinum Strider 1100W | Monitor: AOC i2367Fh | Headphones: ATH-M40X | Mic: Antlion ModMic 4 | Keyboard: Corsair K70 RGB w/ MX Browns | Mouse: Logitech G502 HERO

I did a ton (debatable) of research on cards. the custom pcb ones / non reference and came down to msi or G1 versions. I was looking for Silent and Cool cards. Since i may want to overclock i wanted to get the cooler one. Then a member in this forum bought a G1 version and posted a video testing the sound and it was too loud for me.

so i personally went with the msi..... my priorities were silent and cool

Then once i saw that the MSI competed very well with the G1 in the dpts i was interested in ... Temp and Noise .... i saw this review https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/GTX_980_Ti_SC_Plus/34.html which compares the evga with g1 . So in my opinion for what makes a card a good card.. Noise and Temperatures ( which is very debatable ) i went with the MSI 980 ti .. and it matched with the overrated Red and black theme i was looking for. ( although i was planning on painting the housing on whatever card i chose, i did no work for this one. )       **** Hope this helps.

I'm dying to see a review of the 980Ti Hall of Fame from Galax. I've read couple posts about the upcoming EVGA 980Ti Kingpin... even some of the hardcore EVGA customers are getting out of the scene cause it's not worth the jacked up price.
