Which is the best GTX 980? I was going to buy an EVGA ACX card but I've heard that it has had problems with GPU alignment with the heat sink as well as noise.

Best are the ASUS and MSI 980s this time around. I got the EVGA SSC ACX 2.0 and had to return it because it seemed to hot. Also it sounded like a cricket was in my machine. I returned it for the ASUS STRIX. Seems to be doing good so far. Comes with a backplate and is the only one with a metal fan shroud. MSI looks good too and more stylish. Does have a backplate though and msi never sells them separately. Can't go wrong with ASUS or MSI it looks like. Avoid the EVGA. Zotac got some good reviews too

All of the big makers do good graphics cards, however the 980 has only been out for a week. Yes some cards are already evident that they are better then other, but I recommend waiting for a little while to see all the reviews on the cards. most reviews at the moment are on the reference version.

Thanks man. It's a shame that the EVGA fell short this time around. I really like the EVGA brand, it's never let me down and I like their stepup program and warranty. I also prefer their minimalist aesthetic design, but I will take a look at the ASUS and MSI.
