Which 1080 to go with?

[pimpin-tl]

Help me decide which video card to get. I believe I have narrowed it down to the EVGA FTW 1080 or the Gigabyte Xtreme 1080. What are your thoughts on these? I know the Xtreme takes up a bit more space. Any issues with either of these? Or if you recommend another card, please give me a reason and what card?

Also, is there a reason at all too look at reference cards? I run an H115i on my CPU but aircool the video. I assume if I ever wanted to switch to WC on either of these I can?

EVGA for their customer service reputation.

The Zotac AMP extreme looks like a very nice card.

Definitely, but the yellow theme will clash. I just saw stock go in for the MSI 8g X gaming......tempting. But I like EVGA. hehe

So, the decision was made a little while ago when the stock at newegg showed up with the EVGA FTW 1080! I got one. Can't wait to get it.
