I feel that the title explains it all, but to further clarify I just made a bunch of money off investments, and want to upgrade my gtx960. I'm mainly looking for something 'Future Proof', Bang fro the Buck, Quiet, and good for 3D rendering, and Gaming at 2.5-4K.

I would go for the 980ti more vRam and performs better in some games.

980ti stupidly fast gpu, more memory, better drivers, better support, better features, better softwares...support both CUDA and openCL compute...no reason to pick AMD what so ever at this price range and seeing AMD is going nowhere right now and might no longer even be around at the same time next year to provide drivers and fixes for the cards i think your money would be much better invested in a powerful nvidia GPU.

hurgh definitely not amd

 

A 980ti is absolutely fine for 1440p

 

 

I personally have one and have discovered that in pretty much every AAA game its isnt terribly good in 4k. Except for BF4 which for some reason (only in multiplayer) can run ultra absolutely everything in 4K @60fps

I really like cake

Since most say 980ti, would it be a reasonable option to spend a little more money, and get a watercooled one?

980Ti definitely.

 

Get an EVGA or Gigabyte card.

What 3D rendering programs are you using?

 

If it's something that can utilise NVIDIA's CUDA performance, go with the 980 Ti. If you aren't, and just want something cool and that works, the Fury X might just be ideal.

nVidia is always up to date with drivers, for example Blender, drivers for the GPUs are very optimised. And now, FO4 came out and there are instantly driver for it, ready to rock.

tl;dr: GTX 980Ti all the way

Depends on how much disposable  income you have. In my opinion a hydro card is a bit excessive since a 980 Ti at 1200MHz/82 degrees C performs exactly the same as a 980 Ti at 1200MHz/62 degrees C.

For editing stuff 980ti, for gaming at higher resolutions 295x2 or 290x/390/390x 8gb models.  8-12 gbs of vram is more ideal, and you will get the double with 295x2 in dx12 games.

 

Well problem is most my friends use either 390x or 290x and I know from them that they get quite hot and loud, 2 factors I would like to avoid.

That depends on your cooling.

 

They all have different variants, from MSI to Gigabyte, and Asus and all say it gets hot.
