Not because we're fanboys, it's because they make damn good cards. Don't rule them out because we recommend them.

Well i can afford a TITAN X if i wanted but it's pointless... and i have no use for such an overpriced mental card with 12GB Vram...

 

I mean there is the EVGA Classy... but even then it's stupid and makes zero sense as i won't be under water or LN2.

Because, in general, asus does this to consumers 1438660459491.gif

that doesn't mean the cards are bad, they are just some of the most expensive ( asus makes amazing cards )

Think i might just dump my load on the ASUS Strix.. it's an insane card out of the box clearly smashing the TITAN X!

Idle fan noise is fantastic as the card completely turns its fans off in idle, media playback, and light gaming (up to 60°C). Full-on gaming will have the card reach 39 dBA, which is much noisier than I had hoped for. At 35 dBA, the EVGA GTX 980 Ti SC+ is definitely quieter. It looks like this generation of GTX 980 Ti cards can not really impress with noise levels.
