Find out which is quieter between the EVGA and the Gigabyte maybe. The ZOTAC probably isn't bad either, but despite the higher clock, they tend to be voltage locked and/or incapable of going any higher, whereas you might be able to get 1450-1500 on a good air cooler. Could be different in this case, but late last year lots of folks were bitching about the Zotac in the GTX 980 thread on OCN.

That's the sort of info I was looking for.
I will go EVGA I think. I had a Gigabyte 7870 and didn't care for it plus their fans and shrouds just feel cheap to me.
I really want the EVGA Classified and I really prefer to order from Amazon but they are out of stock and have no indication when some may be in.

Man I have such buyer's remorse over my 980s now. Would've been a long wait for the 980 Tis, but I'd be in 4K 60fps heaven.

I can only fit one card so I am getting the best there is which appears to be the 980Ti unless I pay $400 more to gain such a small boost and get the Titan X. I'm not going 4K anytime soon until it's more feasible and will stick with the monitor I just bought for a while.
Just wonder how much my 3770K will hold the rest of my system back.

Didn't you just buy a 970?
Posted on 7/19/15 at 5:59 pm to stout
Yeah.....so?
Posted on 7/19/15 at 6:00 pm to Devious
So why didn't you just buy a 980 at that point?
Posted on 7/19/15 at 6:04 pm to stout
I couldn't justify the price. Still can't. But if there's a chance to get something at a reasonable price, I'll check it out.
I have a slight problem.

Yep
This is the longest I have kept a system without doing any major upgrades. All I have done to this one was upgraded to 2x8GB of ram because I got a deal on some Corsair low profile.
I have enough spare parts for a whole other build right now too
290
955BE
970 MOBO
4x4GB of ram
2x8GB of ram (never opened still in packaging)
500GB SSD (never opened still in packaging)
1TB HDD
350D
2 x Thermaltake 850 PSU
23.6" Acer Monitor
I also have a refurb Z87-A still in the box

Posted on 7/19/15 at 6:15 pm to Devious

Posted on 7/19/15 at 6:15 pm to Devious

The PNY? I don't think it's 1333. I think it's 1600
I have 4 sticks of Corsair 4GB 1600. One set is blue and the other is black though. I also have this I caught on sale for $65 a few weeks back. I will probably use it in that spare build though.

It's 1333. Otherwise, I'd keep it.
