Which of the three gtx 1080?

[matsamas]

Which of the three would you guys choose? I want nice looking, rgb lighting graphic card with nice clock out of the box. All 3 have similar clocks and performance. Them price is not a problem plus it's almost the same.

1)gigabyte gtx 1080 extreme gaming

2)gainward phenix gtx 1080 "GLH"

3)INNO3D Gtx 1080 ichill BLACK(this one is liquid cooled but still same price as other too)

Reason I exclude the asus rog strix is many reports of the card arriving dead, card unable to perform on overclock mode, glitches and artifacts while benchmarking.
The asus it self who answered "for users who's card can't perform on overclock mode simply turn it to gaming mode". While the card is advertised with its oc clocks some users has to revert it to gaming mode with lower clock. So you cant even overclock further and you simply don't get what you pay for.

Thank you in advance.

I agree, the Gigabyte is the better card out of the three.

Thank you very much for your answers. You have been really helpful. I am waiting for more responses and opinions. Gainward Phoenix glh has also some pretty nice performance with really low Temps under full load. Still I don't see many people reccomending it

I own 2 strix 1080's and they both run fine at 2088mhz in sli or 2136-2156mhz individually. No a single problem out of them yet and they run really really cool. Individually they wont go over 49c and in sli the bottom card stays about 48-49c while the top card hits 51c max. This is with a 70% fan usage set for 50c. With stock fan profile they were about 55c max temp i was able to get out of either one. They are also among the cheapest on the market and the rgb led looks amazing on them.

Gainward is the best of the three when you consider the cost. It's the cheapest and it still is very silent with good temps.

All Pascal cards perform the same, no matter the manufacturer. The only thing you have to consider is cost, visuals(some people care) and cooling performance.

EDIT: It still baffles me, Azzazel, that the strix card was the cheapest in your area. They're one of the priciest premium cards available ^^

Yup $649. The FTW evga was $679, hybrid $729 classified $749 and the Zotac Amp edition was $599

Those prices are from US I guess. INSIDE Europe is nowhere that cheap.

Do you guys know any US site shipping worldwide?
