I'm looking for a EVGA 1080 video card but I don't know which on is good because they have a lot of versions of them and I don't want to really waste my time looking at the specs for all of them.

I'd get one with the new ICX cooler. The only ones that really needsto be avoided are the FE and SC series, I'm a bit wary about the FTW series this time around as EVGA cheaped out on both the original SC and FTW series by not providing the necessary thermal pads. And while the newer cards have the pads, I wonder what other similarities might exist. Haven't as yet seen a good tear down article but if it has to be EVGA, I'd recommend the ICX FTW2
