Hello, I am coming to United States on Wednesday and staying until Sunday. I want to buy a Gtx 980 Ti while I'm there and was originally going to buy MSI because I have read that it is quiet and does not as likely to have coil whine as the other cards. But the MSI version seems to be sold out on most sites and I must have it delivered by next Friday. I will take the card back home so I really just need a safe card that won't be noisy and preferably not have coil whine since it would be a real pain in the ass to send it back to USA to get a replacement. I have read that many Gigabyte G1 Gaming owners have experienced coil whine but I haven't really read much about the Zotac cards. The AMP! and AMP! Extreme look good but the AMP! Extreme looks pretty risky. I would love to get some recommendations on what to do and if any of you live in USA and know where I can maybe get the MSI card.

 

Thanks

The Zotac AMP! Extreme is super duper fast. EVGA pretty good though.

EVGA is love, EVGA is life.

 

No, but seriously. One of the main reasons why people recommend EVGA over other partners is because of their stellar warranty and support. I have had to deal with them myself, and really have nothing but praise for their support.

 

But if you do not wish to fork out the extra money for them, then something like Palit, or Zotac will serve you just fine*.
