This one: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/zotac-video-card-zt9050510p

It has the highest core clock of them all!

The MSI Sea Hawk is probably the fastest one. It's not just the factory overclock, but also the cooling necessary to promote higher Turbo Boost clocks. The MSI Sea Hawk comes with a Corsair all-in-one water cooler.

"The focus of our evaluation was the MSI GTX 980 Ti SEA HAWK. It performed faster, overclocked to highest frequency we have seen on a GTX 980 Ti yet, and achieved the lowest temperature by any GTX 980 Ti."

"While outperforming the competition in-game, the power draw was also significantly lower than the MSI GTX 980 Ti LIGHTNING. This video card was performing better while using less energy and had the lowest temperature we have seen on a GTX 980 Ti. You can't buy a faster, quieter, colder GTX 980 Ti than the MSI GTX 980 Ti SEA HAWK."

"If you are having trouble deciding on that video card to go with, the MSI GTX 980 Ti LIGHTNING and or the MSI GTX 980 Ti SEA HAWK, we can say without a doubt that if you have the room for the radiator the better video card all around is the SEA HAWK for the following reasons. It has liquid cooling built in, this provides a quiet operation with an extremely cool GPU that has the potential to be the best overclockable clock speeds. In addition, just at its base out-of-box overclock because of the liquid cooled GPU it is able to achieve a higher GPU Boost clock speed in games than any other video card, offering performance that blows away a reference GeForce GTX 980 Ti card's performance. The MSI SEA HAWK is able to do this in the size of a normal reference GeForce GTX 980 Ti not requiring massive PCB or heatsink sizes, making for a smaller package. The MSI SEA HAWK video card is more than worthy of our [H] Gold Editor's Choice Award."

Don't forget abt the evga hybrid which is much cooler than sea hawk. Yes its not as good as sea hawk but it only falls back by 2-4 fps but it has lesser core clock than sea hawk. Btw sea hawk uses cpu cooler and hybrid uses a cooler for gpu.So both the hybrid and sea hawk can be pushed to limits.

"You'd be hard-pressed to find a better-performing graphics card, no matter the cost.
Verdict : Gigabyte's GTX 980 Ti Xtreme Gaming is staggeringly powerful. It's the first graphics card we've tested that delivers a satisfying gaming experience at 3840x2160.
It's easily the fastest single-GPU board to pass through our lab. "
