What is the best GeForce GTX 1070 Ti under $500?

Solution
Doesn't really matter. They're all the same pig in different makeup. They all can overclock using MSI Afterburner.

The only really important aspect is the type of cooler used.

1. Single fan -
- Pros: Best for ITX builds where larger cards won't fit, light weight making it better for portable systems
- Cons: Higher fan RPM, noisy, limited OC potential

2. Blower fan -
- Pros: Great for SLI/multiple GPU stacked, cases with limited air space/flow and other restricted environments where hot air needs to be immediately evacuated or high static pressure is needed.
- Cons: Really noisy, run hotter, limited OC potential, long

3. Multi-fan
- Pros: Quietest, lowest temps, best OC potential

- Cons: Poor performance in restricted environments, doesn't stack well in multi-GPU rigs, heavy, some units are huge

Once you know the type you need and the max lenght your case can handle. I'd just choose based on price and appearance.
