There are many different versions of the 980 ti from different manufactures at the present time, if you had to choose a 980 ti for the performance which one would it be?

980ti classified is a beast ! But If you get a 980ti Hybrid you can overclock it nicely

ASUS STRIX is clocked very high too!

You can't really tell. All 980 Ti will use GPU boost to overclock themselfs and some are better than others depending on a few things (cooler, ASIC, chip quality). The clock provided by the manufacturer is only the "bottom line" so you could be lucky and buy a 980 Ti with a very low advertised speed which ramps up like a beast but you could also be unlucky and buy a very high priced one which wont boost like the cheap one.

 

EDIT: Chances are your Kingpin (and other special editions) will overclock more, but the manufacturers do not guarantee for that.

I wish the 980 ti hybrid wasn't reference pcb. Imagine the potential even on a 980 ti sc.

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

Out of the box its the Zotac AMP Extreme, however if overclocking its the lucky person that gets the golden chip which can happen on any card. the Kingpin is most likely to be the best OCer (has probably the highest % chance of a good OC) otherwise theyre all within a few percent of each other and what it really comes down to is were you lucky to get a good chip. Choose which ever one has the best features / support / cheapest within reason( ie $1k for a kinpin isnt worth it but $10 for Gigabyte over a MSI isnt a deal breaker)

There are a few ways to define the "fastest." K|NGP|N is the current fastest, but it costs quite a bit. AMP! Extreme is a great card, and a great overclocker in general because of how incredible the cooler is on that card.

 

I would wait for the Lightning from MSI to make my final decision, especially if you were hoping to go for the K|NGP|N. Those 2 cards are direct competitors within each series of cards.

If you understand German this article says it all: 

http://www.computerbase.de/2015-08/partnerkarten-geforce-gtx-980-ti-test/

TLDR:

Zotac extreme amp: is a super fast beast but needs 3 slots and very long

 

Asus strix direct CU3: beasts but runs hotter than the zotac but in return only 2 slots and a bit smaller

 

MSI 6G: won't overclock as the 2 above because of weakish cooler compared to other products... BUT IT HAS A FRIGGIN DRAGON ON THE LOGO (# WURTH)

 

Gigabyte g1: Just like the Asus Strix but Cooler and noizier also some cards have issues with coil whine and bad ports (it's GPU lottery here)

PALIT Jetstream: 2.5 slots extremely silent though not as fast as zotac/asus (NOT AVAILABLE IN THE US because communism)

 

EVGA: loads of choice here all are quite fast and quite silent. The allrounder Brand. Some models are faster than others but not as fast as Zotac extreme amp

Inno3D iCHILL x3 airboss: like the PALIT but a bit louder and less cool

Nvidia 980ti: Y U EVEN READING DIS????
