   Asus strix 980ti is a much better card, might cost a bit more but you can barely hear the fans, boosts to 1350+ and in oc mode in the asus utility can boost to over 1400. Zero coil whine, hardocp’s example seems to be the exception rather than the norm in regards to acoustics.

     So far as I know, the ASUS STRIX 980 Ti isn’t binned for overclocking like the G1 Gaming is.

     In any case where the margins are so small anyway I’d go with the G1 Gaming for the dark/edgy aesthetics alone. The design of all the 900 series G1 Gaming cards is absolutely boss.

       Zotac amp extreme is actually slightly better! Did anyone see the newegg reviews on the G1 DOA?

         Zotac has indeed the highest
         Zotac has indeed the highest OC out-of-the-box right now, but until someone post a review on OCing it further there is no reason to say it’s better. Same with the others. Higher ootb OCed clock just means they guaranteed better binned chip, but OCing it even more depends on the card’s VRM and cooling solution.

         You could say that more power means more OCing. There are only three cards that has more power supplied to them than common GTX 980Ti 6+8pins or 2x8pins: Galax HOF LN2 (3x8pins), EVGA KingPin (6+2x8pins) and the unreleased MSI Lightning (3x8pins).

             That link just proved that the card sucks when overclocked and only good for your piece of mind… in that you have high clock on default.

             High out of box don’t overclock much, low out of box does overclock higher. In the end, all the same result same average and all overclock just depends on better lottery chip and cooling solution.

               For me the $50 premium is justified for the 20% performance boost vs vanilla!

     Ehh, asus strix gtx980ti is
     Ehh, asus strix gtx980ti is one of the most disappointed gtx980ti out there; it’s loud on load and higher temps on load than competitors. Not a bad card, I’m not saing that, but there’s better gtx980ti’s from other AIB:s(even Palit Jetstream is better than strix, and I hate myself for saying that).

     Overclocking with maxwell 2 cards is quite moot point anyway. Every card can get around 1450MHz on air/water and high asics cards can go 1600MHz on air/water. To get past that you will need subzero temps(°C)… maxwell does not scale with voltage like kepler did.

   I had that card in my system, and yes its very noisy and has coil whine at load playing games like the witcher 3 for example…
   Maybe overcloking and marketing around the web can sell videocards to excited pepole, but for me I had enough with this videocard… you can go crazy literally, when that GPU its working at full load because the noise that card produces and that has temps are mehhh 🙁 too….

   and really I only want to talk about things I know by first hand 😛

     Does Kepler have this coil
     Does Kepler have this coil whine issues or only on Maxwell?
