Which MSI GPU is the best?

[BossBruce1]

I am getting dual 980tis with SLI and I have a full tower case. I would prefer that my GPUs aren't liquid cooled. Price is not a concern. What is the best MSI GPU?

Why MSI? If you go SLI you really should have at least one being a blower type, something like two http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-06gp44992kr or one of those and a http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-06gp44995kr

What do you mean by "blower" and I was going to get an EVGA but my friends told me MSI was better. If I was to get 2 of the first one, would it be sufficiently cooled and have maximum performance? (This doesn't really affect my decision but also does it have a good software)

msi 980 ti lightning is the best but for a 980ti with no price issue get as far as i know the asus matrix is the fastest

really the reason people say msi is better is it comes pre overclocked allowing better out of the box performance really for me i like asus for my nvidia gpus and sapphire/asus for my amd gpus

A single MSI card is fine, but they only sell axial fan types, which means in SLI you will have higher temperature on the top card and possibly lower overall performance.

As for blower vs axial, take a look at the two I listed. You should always have a blower one where ventilation is poor, i.e . the top of the two cards

Be careful to check that the games you want to play have full SLI support before you make the purchase. Most games don't have full SLI support.
