You got a GTX 980Ti and GTX 980 there... big difference...

No click the links.....
They are both 980Ti's....

Or google the part numbers, again both 980Ti's...

You're going to want to look at a several factors.

 

You want to look into the base clock of the 980 TI you're interested in buying, the price of the GPU and the reliability of the brand. I've stuck with EVGA on my NVIDIA purchases. Mainly due to the fact that the one time I received a DOA card, they exchanged it super fast. I was only down for a couple of days. I purchased the 980 TI SC+ from EVGA and have been very satisfied with it. It runs very quiet and cool and comes with a nice back plate at $620.

 

Sure, you might be able to snag a G1 with a slightly higher core clock than the SC+, however, outside mobos, I can't really vouch for Gigabyte.

For a generally well factory OC'd card, I prefer the Xtreme...

That white PCB  that card looks pretty cool, although the red on white is kinda weird. The power input solution is quite cool, ever seen a 3 slot power input cause i dont gaze too often towards high end cards, but since im considering geting one, that looks like a great option

The amp!extreme is a Beast. 

Super fast and with 70° under full load (custom curve) cool enough for further overclocking if you want to.

I will never forget the Moment i saw this Behemoth the first time ^^

 

 

My fury x is 40-50c under load

 

like 100% oc load

I duno about the 980ti

 

its lack of asyncronous compute

 

its not something a driver can fix

 

thats like amd stating they will implement hyperthreading on their 8core cpu,s to make them 16 threads via a firmware update

 

its a hardware feature

 

it cant magically apear if its not there to begin with

I was actually originally planning on getting a Sabertooth Mark S Z170 board for my build, but then i decided to get a 980Ti instead because i wouldve only gotten a 970 with the sabertooth board. I remember Linus trying to use that Z97 sabertooth in the Desk PC build.

You do realize this is a 980Ti discussion, and not a Fuzzy X / AMD discussion?

What has the FuryX to do with it?

Only because one, very ugly, RTS Game that no one would care about without this discussion claim that this is an Issue, doesnt proof anything.

Stop gong off topic please. Can you guys recommend good 980ti's. Maybe with a red and black colour scheme, but I don't really mind, but not like white and blue if you know what I mean.

[DunePilot]

People already said the best bang for the buck... which is hands down the Gigabyte G1 and the new one with RGB that is $40 more. 

...and while the thread is derailed... the Fury X is a sweet card. Just have to turn off HBAO+ in the games you play with it as it just simply murders the frame rates. That nets about a 15% difference in fps from that single settings since its Nvidia developed and not tuned for AMD.

That's simply untrue. Maxwell is more than capable of handling Async Compute.

 

OP, go with either G1 or EVGA SC+. They're the best.
