Greetings!

I've been doing some research in terms of my future PC build and I'm now down to 4 different GPUs that I cannot pick from and I was hoping yall more experienced fellas could assist me on this! I have checked benchmarks and videos and whatnot and haven't seen a huge difference but since I'm upgrading from a 1060 3GB GPU, I do not have enough knowledge when it comes to overclocking the GPU or cooling performance so I'm just making sure I'm not buying "the wrong one". If there's hardly any difference at all then I'll likely go with the price and/or aesthetics.

Now, the GPUs in question are the following 2080 TIs:
  • Gigabyte Aorus xtreme
  • Asus Rog Strix
  • EVGA FTW Wind 3
  • MSI Gaming X Trio
I have a 3900X with 32GB ram and pure base 500dx case with 4 or 5 case fans in total with air cooler for the CPU (in case this information is essential for the GPU cooling). I do plan on overclocking the GPU and mostly would do 1440p gaming.

Now I know my CPU isn't gaming-oriented like the more powerful intel CPUs but the CPU is for other tasks as well and I really have my heart set on this type of GPU but I simply cannot choose between the 4. Any feedback regarding the GPUs is much appreciated! You are welcome to suggest other 2080 TIs as well, of course.


Edit: Upon further inspection it appears (to me at least) that Aorus Xtreme is best in terms of specs. Now, since that one doesn't seem to be available in the couple stores (including amazon.de) I might just have to go with a different brand if that is the case. If so, what else would you recommend and how big of a difference do you reckon there is?
