Best 980 Ti Brand?

[overco]

I am looking to buy a 980 Ti and I would like to have good cooling and great overclocking room compared to the other brands.

The best air cooled gtx 980ti is the EVGA KINGPIN and there is also the Zotac 980ti Arctic Storm which support watercooling. But i think the gtx 980ti HOF is under the kingpin but still better.

The EVGA 980ti FTW or the Zotac 980ti AMP! is the best card for your budget the FTW is just below the kingpin in benchmark

Go for either evga or msi for gtx 980ti
Evga for best cooling and msi for better cooling plus overclocking

You can't guarantee a particular card will be a better overclocking card over another brand. As far as I know, the Asus Kingpin cards are the only cards that have a guaranteed ASIC (indication of silicon quality, translates into overclockability) quality. Otherwise, it is a crapshoot on getting a card with a good (above 70%) ASIC quality. I received my EVGA card with an ASIC quality of 84.6%, if that means anything to you.

I would suggest buying the cheapest, custom(as in manufacturer overclocked, custom fans, custom PCB) 980 Ti you can find. Stick to brands like EVGA, MSI, Asus, or Zotac
