After deciding whether or not I should wait for the Pascal GPU's or buy the 980 TI, I've decided to buy the 980 TI. I made the decision b/c I've never had a dedicated graphics card, only integrated. I can't wait anymore to play games like Witcher III and Fallout 4 which are gathering dust in my steam library. With that in mind, I've been looking at which brand 980 ti would be best to go in my build. I'm deciding between:
1. MSI GTX 980 TI Gaming 6G
2. Gigabyte GTX 980 TI G1 Gaming
3. EVGA GTX 980 TI Hybrid
Right now, it's really a debate of the first two vs. the EVGA. I've heard great things about all three of them. My main concern comes from the coil whine complains I've heard from the MSI and Gigabyte cards (especially the Gigabyte one). Thus, I've looked towards the EVGA hybrid as a way to get around the coil whine. I also realize that the EVGA uses a reference PCP and has slightly slower clock speeds. I was wondering if it would be worth it to pay the extra money to get the EVGA to avoid the coil whine, or hope that I get lucky in the silicone lottery and get an MSI/Gigabyte GTX 980 TI. If the latter, MSI or Gigabyte? Thanks.
