Hi, so I'm trying to figure out what the best GTX 980 ti is for gaming. What I mean by that is that I'm confused at the fact that there are quite a few different types of GTX 980 ti's made by several different companies and they're all listed at different pricing's. I don't know enough about computers to figure it out on my own. Please help! :)

Most of the time it doesn't matter, just pick the cheapest card with that looks the best and does well in online reviews. 

Some good ones are the EVGA ACX 2.0 FTW, Gigabyte G1, MSI 6G.

Difference of them are brand stock speeds, price, bundled freebies but mainly support and warranty length.

Sorry to Hijack this post, I want to get the Hybrid myself, any cons about this? Wanted a quiet PC

The pump may be noisy so it may not be always quieter. 

 

Here is a review of its acoustics, you can see that it is not much quieter than other cards:

 

Unless you need the low temperatures it's not the best value to performance.

Great card, though MSI Seahawk should have a little more performance increase

They are both great

Well for me I just wanna OC a bit and not overheat it, my current PC has a nice thick skin of dust and it's very noisy, listening to JayzTwoCents Overclocking and Cooler Testing, he just plays a bunch of games and the GPU and CPU is damn near silent compared to what I play with. So I'm probably going to be happy with what I get.

Yeah its better than other cards in terms of noise, but not enough to justify its price premium in my opinion

If you're getting a 980ti, why not go for the best one?

 

EVGA Classy, or the Zotac Amp Extreme. (I got my amp extreme to ~1500mhz)

Why? I ask you Why? Unless you don't give a f**k about 600 bucks or are insanely eager to play minecraft at 120fps, Why would you buy a 980ti now off all times. Can you not humbly wait for Nvidia and AMD to release their new graphics card. Maybe you will get a much better card for a lower price, my little precious

Price premium? You mean the extra $40 on a $640 card? Yeah....

Wait didn't it cost 100-80 dollars more, it's was like that last I checked.

 

 

Edit: yep bloody thing started at 749 when it came out, it price fell off signifacantly

Wow dude I know it's been a long time but I remembered this post so came back to ask "Would you buy a gtx 980ti now after knowing the specs of gtx1070 and gtx1080?"
