I'm leaning toward the evga black as I know their customer service is best, but figured I'd ask for opinions before I actually order it.

Don't plan on OC'ing, and with my case set up I don't think I can watercool the GPU so that kinda makes the msi FE worthless - so i guess it's really between the xlr8 and evga; i have no idea how PNY is in terms of reliability and customer service but their card is $20 cheaper so that's a selling point

two for two now my evga cards haven't really overclocked well, but the customer service is top notch & the cards run cool and quiet while usually looking the best

go with whatever has the highest base + boost clock
look for a backplate too as the newer bigger cards tend to sag pretty bad

2x 1080ti sc black here

the sc black is pretty dope

ftw3 elite black is doper

Ordered the BE, thanks for advice
