Hello, I am about to buy the 980 Ti and I noticed there are many different versions...basically, I want the best one that fits my case and motherboard size...I currently have a 780 Ti SC With ACX 3 GB and I NEED the 980 Ti dimensions to be
Height: 4.376in - 111.15mm
Length: 10.5in - 266.7mm
Width: Dual Slot

Because those are the dimensions of my 780 Ti and it barely fits...any bigger and I'm afraid it won't go in my case and onto my motherboard...I'm eyeing the 980 Ti 6GB SC+ GAMING ACX 2.0+ WITH Backplate since it's the same exact size as my 780 Ti but is it the best one I can buy for that size???? I noticed there was another 980 Ti with the same name but without the backplate and oddly, it was more expensive..how's that? Basically, and please, what is the best 980 Ti graphics card I can buy with the size dimensions that I listed above??? Your answers will determine my purchase..Thanks.
 
If you're not going to OC: Zotac AMP! Extreme as it has very high reference OC. The quietest would be either 980ti with built in all in one coolers such as EVGA Hybrid/MSI Sea Hawk.

ASUS Strix has quiet noise levels and good reference OC (but not faster than AMP! Extreme) and the best all around performer would the the MSI Lightning.

Also: The Gigabit G1 OC's great. You really can't go wrong they all just have slight differences.
