Hi guys :)

I'm wondering which GTX 1080 is best of these 3?

Gigabyte D5X
Zotac AMP
or
Gainward Phoenix?

I play at FHD but want a lot of fps!

Intel Core i7-3770 locked
24 GB DDR3
ASUS P8Z77V
128 GB SSD Plextor
500 GB SSD Samsung Evo 850 (games storage)
Corsair RM1000x

Thank you in advance!

I know, and totally understand. However if you want to have a positive experience regarding your gpu upgrade and want to stay 1080p, I wouldn't do it. Think of it this way:
You only need so much gpu power for 1080p gaming.
As newer more demanding triple A titles come out that can tax the 1080 to the extent where the processing power is truly needed (at 1080p) you might be able to get away with it. But right now that isn't the case.
I see multiple users posting on tom's hardware daily, stating their "beast of a system" is getting very low fps. Nine times out of ten it's because they are running 1080p.

1080p Yeah.
The price gap between 1070 and 1080 is just so small atm. that it feels stupid to not give the extra couple of bucks for the upgrade.

Thanks a lot!
I've got the money but still don't want to waste any. If usually wait quite some time for upgrading but then I do it right.
I will research the issue you are describing in your answer.
As always great help in here!
