| 1434964 | 2017-05-07 23:33:00 | I think the cards are just too new for the type of comparisons you want to be easily available, Nvidia offer a roundup www.geforce.com but I think you are stuck with the tedium you are trying to avoid. My 2c, pick a couple of brands you like such as previously suggested and go for their highest clocked option. Choose 1 model from say Gigabyte, Asus, and maybe EVGA, then look for reviews of that particular model. The differences in performance are going to be minor between the factory overclocked models so it comes down to cooler design, warranty, and aesthetics. Whichever you choose is not going to impact your gaming experience in any meaningful way which is why I haven't spent much time comparing them myself and I suspect that's the same for others here too. I have a Gigabyte GTX980 reference model I bought when they first came out, it's played every game I have tried at max settings and high framerates for 2.5 years. If I'd waited and researched and picked a non reference design overclocked model with a "better" cooler and higher clocks I would not have had a better experience. Pick one and be happy with it. Personally I like the reference design because it vents outside the case, but that doesn't seem to matter to most. I have a thing about buying the very best I can afford at the time of purchasing. Its kind of a compulsion. |

| 1434965 | 2017-05-07 23:53:00 | Well EVGA do offer a hybrid model with a closed loop watercooler and a fan to cool the other components, have to be a contender for the most expensive 1080Ti at least... It's only clocked the same as their SC air cooled model though so unless you plan to overclock it seems like wasting money | dugimodo (138) | ||

| 1434968 | 2017-05-08 01:26:00 | I am finding your "tone" a bit confrontational, I don't expect to see that from you..... And as I have said three times now, I am looking for comparisons of different 1080Ti's to each other and to the reference/founders editions that are available. Preferably without the tedium of a lot of time deciphering and noting down different specs from supplier web sites. It may sound confrontational simply because really even the posts given there has not been anything that describes "Best". All that's been given is "comparisons of different 1080Ti's to each other " And passmark does that about as good as anyone. All the reviews on various cards, all report the same sort of thing, performance on various benchmarks, there is really not much else they can report on part from maybe the red one looks nicer than the green :D The biggest difference between makes can be the number of fans, different sizes, number of outlets and the price. Just looking on one of my dealers sites, they list 5 different "1080Ti" 2 ASUS, 3 Gigabyte, and the price difference is around $260 between the top priced /Lower Priced. Lowest price; Gigabyte GV-N108TGAMING OC-11GD GTX1080Ti 11GB GDDR5X PCIe Graphics Card Top Priced; ASUS GTX1080Ti-011G-Gaming 11GB GDDR5X PCIE Graphics Card So lets say the lower Price gigabyte is the best - Price wise. Maybe you'll get a reply from the post you posted on gpforums. :) |

Also not holding my breath re gpforums.... |

Have a gander at the following from Dove. www.dove.co.nz Only 5 cards :) If you click on a card Name ( in blue) the specs show. These are manufactures Specs, stated Speeds etc. If it were me, I'd narrow it down to a couple you like, then look online for Pricing, full reviews on those preferred models. I know this is what you may be after, but getting them all in one place, may not be completely possible. :2cents: |

| 1434971 | 2017-05-08 02:56:00 | The performance difference between the G1. Gaming Edition GTX1080 my friend got, vs my Extreme Edition GTX1080 was < 1%, and I paid an extra $200 for mine (it was all that was in stock at the time and I was impatient). TBH the differences there are negligible, and sure as hell not worth forking out the extra $$ for such a difference, or lack thereof. I'd imagine the same would apply for the 1080Ti. You're much better off going for a brand that you like though, rather than just the cheapest, as the EVGA branded ones had "fun" back in the day catching fire: www.youtube.com I know there was a spate of reviews of this happening to people, and I'm not able to recall if it was just the FTW edition or all of the EVGA ones. As the others have said: Best in what? Best in price, AKA cheapest? Best performance-per-dollar? (Likely also cheapest) Best stock cooling? (Though you're wanting to watercool so not likely relevant) Best aftermarket support? Best for OC'ing? Best availability for local purchasing? Best resistance to catching fire? I mean, cool you've got some money, we're all happy for you that you're getting the 1080Ti, but as others have mentioned, those sorts of comparisons aren't quite as readily available as you'd expect, given each card costs ~NZD$1200-1500, so just check out the clock speeds and go from there, it's pretty simple math really when you're comparing the same processor at different clock speeds... EDIT: It's probably worth pointing out, we're talking like 90fps vs 91fps in most games... However in some other games, his cheaper G1 Gaming Edition GTX1080 is faster, so I could say it depends on what you're planning to play, and at that price / performance point, you're better off looking at other features / price rather than sheer performance, coz in all honesty the differences are negligible. |

Looking for the best stats Highest stats Core Clock Base and Boost (factory over-clocks are great but I do not OC myself) Highest Memory Clock Memory Size Memory Bus Physical ports Multi-View This is not about money, either lots or little... My updates are never about money. |

| 1434973 | 2017-05-08 04:06:00 | But I think you've missed what I said: I paid $200 more ($1K vs $1200ish), for "better" stats (Higher clock speed): www.gigabyte.com vs www.gigabyte.com But, I don't always get better performance in games, even though we both have the same 7700k CPU, same drivers etc... Seeing as you're going to be doing your own cooling, it makes little sense looking into it there, so your best bet is to just get a brand you like, with the ports you're going to use, that's readily available, where you can get good after-sales support if you need it, and go from there. |
