Hi guys,

I was looking to pick up a founder's edition 1080TI due to my smaller case which I believe will benefit from the exhaust style cooling used in the founders edition. But a quick survey of the landscape shows a bunch of options at my local store when buying it, with no visible difference in specs or look.

My question is this - what is the difference between a founders edition from Asus - EVGA - Zotac - Gigabyte - and MSI? Are they all identical with just the after-service being the difference? And would you recommend one over the other?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Phil
