Hello Friends,

I want to ask which brand should i choose for my 4k system, i have a friend which can find me a new sealed SC2 EVGA 1080ti , at 680 euros. but i hear things in multiple forums for this card. the other choises are msi,asus, or gigabyte. but i cant afford them, here in greece they cost about 950 euros. i have a very cheap chance with that SC2 EVGA , i pull through about 300 euros.

so i want to buy SC2 , but i want to hear your views about the card that i need to pick.

Thank you very much.

EVGA responded to that with cards like the SC2 and others with the new ICX cooling system. I would say that any EVGA card with the ICX cooler are excellent and overbuilt to ensure...
