Gtx 980 ti

[OP_Chief]

If I were to overclock each card (Gtx 980 Ti) which one would have the highest clock speed?
I'll be using triple 144hz monitors, and I when I get a 2nd 980ti, I'll plan on gaming at 5760x1080p.
Essentially, which form of the Gtx 980 Ti is best?
Gigabyte G1, EVGA, Asus, or the Hyrbrid?

We can't tell you how much any GPU can overclock, let alone which GPU can get a higher overclock. All chips overclock differently.

As for the best 980 TI, I would say the Gigabyte G1 and the best of the best is the EVGA Classified. The Hybrid model will not overclock as good as the classified model.

I want to go with the G1 because I've read it can overclock better, but I also want to go with the hybrid, because people have said they've gotten it to 1600mhz, because of the water cooling. I don't know what to do 🙁

Max hybrid I've seen is 1545 and another at 1530 on stock bios...there's been some g1's at 1530-1545 without altering bios and adding voltage and that type of thing....They can all get high enough. Personally I'm content at 1500Mhz and under 50C while gaming. But I like G1 too and classified/kingpin.

For SLI which would you prefer? (With this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/M9Qs3C)

The problem with the hybrid is that it doesn't cool vrm's and memory enough vs a waterblock...but it stays with all of the air cooled cards, while being a sh1t ton cooler.

I prefer the cool temps because the extra 30Mhz they may get over me, doesn't translate in fps or equal the lower temps I have. I just like my things cool..less stress for longevity. They're all good though, in sli...I would go hybrids if you can fit both in.

Well I would say quality wise EVGA does with their guaranteed ASIC specific quality you can buy in their Kingpin line....but, at some point 80%+ ASIC quality for $350 more than the average 980Ti gets a bit redonculous. If you have room in your case and the $$ I'd get the hybrid simply because SLI increases temps all around. If you have lots of money kingping 80+Asic x2 then add waterblocks. But that's just crazy.
