Hey.. Its time for me to buy a new GPU and i came across those two and i wonder what's best and most worth the money? Is it really worth OC?

Well, depends how many bucks is expensive one to other. The OC comes with higher base/boost clock out the box (to human: will work a little faster), but, 980Ti is a plenty good card and there is nothing wrong with both choices.

But, before take a decision, if you can post your system!

You can overclock the non overclocked version so dont pay more money. The only difference is one is faster out of the box without having to mess with overclocking it....its already done for you. Both are the same card just different pre programmed overclocks on them.

I vote for neither. I've had bad experience with Asus all around, and I'm not the only one. I recommend exploring what MSI, Gigabyte, and EVGA has to offer before you make a choice.

Msi and evga would be my main choices as well. Gigabyte has a bad habit of making crap pcb's and people opening their new gpu box only to find a bent and/or warped pcb. I'd stay away from them.

Okey so you think MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB is better?
