What is the best version of the 980ti cards?

[Jake458]

I noticed there are several versions?

Simple answer, ALL!

There is no "best of the best" version, they are different flavors for different folks.

This is a hybrid water cooled version, which in this case is the "best" one out there. Sadly it is sold out, and may go back into stock soon.

In stock: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487142&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

EVGA Hybrid.

As stated, it's the best and it's worth it once it comes back in stock. WHY?

Jayz2cents reviewed it and ran it at 1480MHz with the fans being very quiet and the GPU was about 50degC (compared to over 80degC with air cooled cards).

So it gets the best performance while also being very quiet. That's worth an extra $100 (15%) over the cheapest models.
