I am planning to buy ultra wide monitor and I need new GPU. Which one would you chose?
I am reading a lot of lately and the differences between all 1080 pascal are minimal ( within 1-4 frames).
Currently I run on EVGA 770 SLI and I have very good experience with EVGA including RMA. However my friend who is very into computers says that EVGA went down and he recommends ASUS Strix. Both EVGA and ASUS are 699$.
Which one to chose?
By the way I don't care about size or the way it looks.

I personally have a STRIX-GTX1080-08G-Gaming and I love it. It runs cool and I've overclocked even further than the factory overclock. Never hits over 80 degrees. I'm still trying to overclock it even further. Also, it has amazing fans and looks amazing aesthetics wise if you care about that.

And what can you say about that tweaking program from ASUS to enable turbo boost

OK. I made up my mind. Check out this link.

I am going with EVGA FTW

They compare those 2 cards and also Inno 3d - which is the best in their tests by the way
Overall EVGA AND ASUS are almost the same with framerates, and temp. however I have currently 2 EVGA 770 and I had experience with they RMA ( I bought bad card on EBAY ) and they were really great. Since I used to have 680 and got another from EBay which was defective they send me two 770 :). And also they have this STEP UP program

where you can upgrade your GPU within 90 days (just pay the diff.). Since I am hopefully waiting for Ti version coming soon, there is a chance I may be able to upgrade.
