Which GTX 980?

Go to solution Solved by byalexandr,

So I should take the SC version?

 

@byalexandr @IateMApoo @JebKerman

Yeah. I would say so, but make sure it is reference before you buy. I think it will be easier for you to get your hands on a GPU block that way.

EVGA GTX980 FTW ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 256bit

OR

EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Superclocked ACX 2.0

 

not a lot of difference really, actually, I think the FTW has a non-reference PCB, which might allow for better OCing, while the SC will be easier to watercool (if you are/were ever thinking of it)

Aftermarket 980Ti >= Fury X >= Reference 980Ti > Fury > 980 > 390X > 390 >= 970 380X > 380 >= 960 > 950 >= 370 > 750Ti = 360

I will be water-cooling. I may or may not water-cool the GPU, but I have future plans to water-cool the GPU.
