What is the better gtx 980 ti?

[JarlOfBacon]

Hi.

 

I have been looking at some gpu's and I think these are the best ones in my opinion, Gigabyte G1 gaming, MSI gaming, Asus strix and the Zotac amp!

I will be playing games such as lol,cs:go, gta v, Shadow of mordor, Far cry 4 and many other games like those mentioned on 1080P(I know it is overkill)

I want the best performance out of these cards. If you know of any other cards that are better than these cards, just mention them down below.

 

Thank you in advance.

its just personal preference

the differences between those would be marginal

Classy>MSI>Gigabyte>Asus

 

Asus has had some massive quality control issues with their cooler seating.

 

Gigabyte has had alot of complains of coil wine but otherwise have an amazing card.

 

MSI gives a good all arounder, not the best at anything but its definitely always in the conversation.

 

The Classy isn't in the same price point and is definately better than all of the above. The direct evga competition is the ACX+ and is worse than all but the asus with poor cooling properties traded away for silence.

 

The Zotac Amp and Amp extreme are arguably as good if not better than all of the others on this list, but the thing is a triple slot insanely long and heavy card. (that I think personally looks like shit, but others like it.)

Does any of them have a better cooler or any other pros?

see above. Either way all of them are very good.

Are there any cards you would recommend in the msi and gigabyte price range?  I want the card to be cool and as silent as possible but I don't want to compromise the performance.

Kingpin is the best 980ti

Kingpin is the best 980ti

The problem with that card is that it costs over 300 usd more than any of the cards i listed here in norway.

Not seen the MSI Lightning yet

Not seen the MSI Lightning yet

I probably should have mentioned that I am going for a red and black build and that means the lightning is going to mesh up the scheme.

Sorry, do not go with the Strix though

EVGA is the way for nvidia or gubyte g1 is pretty great

this might be a dumb idea but if the custom pcb cards are more expensive than the reference design why don't you try this:

 

Reference 980ti + nzxt kraken g10 + coolermaster siedon 240m (about $60) = water cooled quiet and overclockable 980ti for about the price of a custom pcb card

 

just my .02

The Zotacs are sexy, and the straight black/ carbon fibery look may go well with your set up, but the best fit would be classy or strix and as stated, stay away from strix.

 

also from an availability point of view, good luck finding any higher end evga not sold out, where as the Zotacs just always seem available somewhere.
