Best 1080 for overclocking

[iKonstX]

Hey,

I wanna buy a 1080 and I'd like to ask which one you'd prefer for overclocking. I heard Palit is the best choice since it has the best cooling system and is the most quiet and doesn't make a difference to other cards if you overclock it.
What do you think?

Greetings,
Konst

THEY ARE LITERALLY SAME.

get a random gtx 1080 with good silent cooler.

Depends, what is your budget? I know all of the 1080's are pretty close but have you considered one with a hybrid cooler, the ones with AIO coolers on them?

I recommend evga 1080 ftw hybrid.

[iKonstX]

Uhm I think about +- 720, don't wanna spend too much on it. And no I haven't, to be honest I dont really know what that is (I'm not really into tech that much ^.^)

Exactly, was going to suggest the EVGA FTW hybrid.. runs around $730 USD.

they all petty much cap out at aound 2100mhz . better cooler will make the card silent or run at lower temps. But you won't get extra OC out of it

The EVGA FTW hybrid card would probably be the best bet if you are willing to spend the $730 on it. Really great reviews and extremely low temps.. 8pin x2 power delivery. I imagine this card will net you some pretty great overclocks, providing you don't get a complete garbage chip.

This one here?

If you want to save little bit of money, EVGA 1080 Hybrid(not FTW). 

[MadOrc]

Pretty sure the best is the Zotac AMP! Extreme Edition

[iKonstX]

Nevermind, the Evga Hybrid is over 800€ in germany :/

That one there.

Only reason suggesting FTW is because of the 2 8 pin pcie instead of a single 8 or (1) 8 and (1) 6. /shrug

If that only meant more OC.  Unfortunately, one single 8 pin is all you need and you gain nothing with 2.

2 8pins doesn't give a dramatic improvement, it only gives better power control, and little more fps(2~3).

It doesn't even give you that with Pascal.  It's literally nothing.

Of course, the reason for using 2 8pin not necessarily MORE power but cleaner power delivery, theoretically reducing heat and allowing for more stable higher overclocks. Most review samples of the FTW hybrid are managing 2150 or a little higher overclocks staying under 55c, But it is out of OP price range in the area so moot.

FE cards are clocking the same and more with proper coolers (water).  It literally has nothing to do with more or cleaner power.  An 8 pin is already more than enough power.
