I am looking at reference vs zotac vs gigabyte. Which one is best> I am using 3 1080p monitors. 

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

Best 980 ti model is completely irrelevant unless doing ln2. And I don't mean like the performance boost isn't worth the price. I mean it is quite likely there will be NO PERFORMANCE BOOST.

Gm200 with voltage boosts under air or water are basically a lock for 1500-1520 but almost never ever manage above 1540 or so. (If you watched that video then for reference, I tell you that my bad asic 67.8 msi 980ti hits 1507-1514 max boost on the stock bios)

With that in mind if you don't plan to ln2 cool or piss money into the wind for no reason... I would recommend looking at the following makers and choosing the card that best fits your build look and wallet wherever you may be: zotac (amp extreme), palit (super jetstream), msi (gaming 6g), galax (hof), and with caution I'd be remiss not to mention gigabyte (g1 which is sadly often very loud), and evga (who's acx 2.0 runs a bit hot at the reward of lower noise).

I cannot recommend reference models (unless doing sli or cases where blower coolers are basically required) or Asus (who's dc 3.0 has been terrible when working and has had massive qc issues as well.)

They are all basically the same if you overclock them. Gigabyte and Zotac Amp Extreme have been favourites for high stock speeds.

Zotac´s amp!extreme is what you want.

Forget the Referenz Design, too "slow" compared to the other two.
