I'm upgrading 980 to 980Ti. I already have a water block for the EVGA 980 which should fit on the EVGA 980 Titan according to Google so i want to stick with EVGA

So which EVGA 980 Ti is the best ?

EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB FTW
This one claims to be the "fastest 980 Ti" but the boost clock is 1291MHZ
http://www.ncix.com/detail/evga-geforce-gtx-980-ti-b2-115882-1130.htm

When checking on newegg for the EVGA 980 Ti FTW, it says "A newer version of this item is available" which leads to :

EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 06G-P4-4995-KR 6GB SC+
The listing on newegg says the boost clock is only 1190 MHz
But it also says "+114MHz Boost Clock"
Does this means that the total boost clock is 1304 mhz ??

ASUS and Gigabye were able to make 980 Ti running at 1317MHZ boost clock, like this one:

Is there any 980 Ti from EVGA able to reach the same boost clock or above ?

Thanks !

TBH there really isn't a best model, I mean there is, but it's only better by a margin, if you're watercooling, probably the Classified would be best. Don't worry about any factory settings though. All of the 980 Tis are overclockable by a pretty decent amount. Find one that's compatible with your block and go from there. I actually have an EVGA 4991 which is ACX 2.0 no back plate, traded up from a 970 with EVGAs trade up program and that was the only one that was available, then I decided to build a custom loop, so that went under water, that was some time last year... Round July I think, and I overclocked it pretty awesomely, though people with different cards overclocked higher, I believe (having played with the settings) that...

honestly i think upgrading right now is a waste. pascal gpus are coming soon and the x80 is supposed to be equal to the 980 ti and it will be cheaper.
if you really need to upgrade now i think the kingpin is the best evga 980 ti but i would if its watercooled get a cheap one and overclock it

Round July I think, and I overclocked it pretty awesomely, though people with different cards overclocked higher, I believe (having played with the settings) that something like a 50Hz overclock won't be that big of an impact on gaming performance. Last week I got a an Asus Strix 980Ti for a good price, so I just watercooled that and have them in SLI now, and the clock is meager, I can go higher, but I'm happy with the temps and the overclock, and that's where you have to find, where you're happy with what you have, because you want to reuse your block, I'm guessing you don't have a whole lot of money to blow, so get something you can find at a decent price that will fit and try not to worry about best clock in the world. K|NGP|N is probably the best, but that would be more for LN2.
