Whats the best GTX 1080 brand to buy atm? And AMD shills just

First of all, you only want non reference AIB cards, non Founder shit.

Your best options are Asus, EVGA, MSI and Gigabyte. Many feel the Asus Strix is one of the best of the best at the moment.

Note that I'd consider your spending for this year though. Unless money is basically no object, the HBM2 cards are coming next year . Spending big cash for something now is kind of a waste in that regard.

For this HBM2 meme, do I need a new mobo? I have a X79 card currently.

Either Zotac or MSi, make your choice. amp extreme or gaming z.

Mat I ask why you consider those the best?

if you have the cash to burn go ahead but i am not forcing you. I never had any problems with MSi. Zotac is big ass motherfucker that takes up to many fucking slots. MSi is nice as well. But im so fucking picky when it comes to aesthetics and shit but you get what you pay. Stay away from Gigabyte. You practically pay too much for fixed clocks in which you can set them with an application.
