wich gpu?

Go to solution Solved by Skiiwee29,

If they are all founders edition cards, then whichever is cheaper. If they have after market coolers, then MSI to keep with the color scheme of your board unless its the Armor edition. if its the Armor edition, go with the EVGA Founders card. 

I have MSI Z370 GAMING PLUS Motherboard and i like to buy a gtx 1080.

 

and i don´t know  which one to buy?

 

1) EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition, 8GB GDDR5X

2)Zotac GTX 1080 8GB Oem

3) or msi  1080 gpu

 

I have a NZXT H700I MIDITOWER case.

Hahahahah that's funny. Finally someone who get's it. I had a 970 2xArmor the white one, not the red 2xArmor Gaming. 

That GPU was literally trash, temps. were super high, performance and overclocks were trash compared to other 970s.

 

When I tell this to other people they say NO NO and argue against me on every turn that since it's not a reference it's good. I don't say ref is better than the 2xArmor I just say avoid the 2xArmor at all costs.

the armor cards are nice if you are going to rip off the coolers and watercool though, the 1080 one uses the GameingX PCB

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Yea, that cooler is cheap and not effective. Basically about as good as the founders card lol, Thus why I said it.
