Need Help/Can't Decide which 980 TI to go with.

[ryanskeltis]

Hi so im buying a new graphics card in the next few days and have narrowed it down to the 980 TI

I'm not sure which 980 TI to go with. Need something that's going to last at least 2 years and play at 1440p at 60+ FPS if possible.


The ones im looking at are the
Asus Strix OC

Im not sure about the MSI Lightning LE

There are no benchmarks for it and i'm not sure how to compare it to any of the other cards

Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 980 Ti
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125787

I'm looking at this one because it has the best witcher 3 FPS
Unsure about the voltage issue iv'e herd about with it.

Are there any i'm missing that are good ones? Someone mentioned the EVGA Classified one too.

I want to keep it in the 650-700 dollar range but if i need to go under or over a little i might not be too worried.

I'm going to be putting this in a corsair air 540 case possibly. I have the thermaltake chaser mk 1 right now


Heres my current part list. I'm upgrading the case light i said earlier and i'm going to probably get a smaller cpu cooler if the current one doesn't fit in the air 540.

As with every other video card, I recommend the cheapest non reference model. I have never bought into paying a lot extra for some fancy pants factory OC'ed model that performs marginally better.
