So as the title suggests I'm curious as to which of the brands for the GTX 1080 TI
is the best/overall performance and durability in your opinion and why.
The price doesn't matter.
Or should i wait for the next generation to come out ?
Thanks in advance for the help :D !

As with any component, the better the hardware, the better the product. All nVidia reference cards cards from the 1070 on up have shown thermal throttling issues, those should definitely be avoided. In previous generations, the AIB cards with better componentry and cooling showed various advantage. With the 10xx series, nVidia has put a nerf on all cards with Boost 3 capping performance to a significant extent which has reduced but not eliminated these differences which fps increases of up to 7%. As indicated above, the size of the performance differences have been reduced by the limits imposed by Boost 3 but aside from fps differences you will find significant differences in heat, noise and power draw,

Waiting until next generation is a tough call to make. We can't say for sure if it'll be worth it.

Generally speaking, all 1080TIs are going to have around the same performance, and if you're not worried about price, it comes down to what company you would rather have to deal with if something goes wrong with the card. With that in mind, this is my pick: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126186

Performance in the OC test ranged from 206 fps for the reference and 209 for the EVGA card to 221 for the MSI (7+%). All the rest were clumped between 213 and 215
