The STRIX has been delayed due to a manufacturing defect, it won't be out awhile

The Strix is a badass looking card. However, it's not available yet so if you don't mind waiting, I would buy it. If you want your card now, I'd spring for a Classified personally (though the price/performance there is lacking big time) due to the beefier board design and the likelihood of better overclocking. There are a lot of good cards though, so possibly consider different brands if you hadn't already.

I wouldn't say the price to performance is lacking, it's 50$ more than reference and 25$ more than non reference gpus.

Considering its one of the best 980 tis and has massive oc headroom and amazing software support.

Considering its completely ready for any overclocking you'd ever do right out of the box, i think the overa experience you get for that extra 25$ is totally worth it.

ASUS warranty support is CRAP! I'd go with EVGA.

Zotac´s amp! extreme is a real badass. Without OC, EVGA 980Ti´s cant reach it.
