I know this may have already been answered but I've had a little search and cant seem to find the answer to me fairly specific question.
I'm looking to upgrade to a GTX 980Ti but not sure if I should go reference or custom PCB (EVGA Classified to be precise). Either card will be put under water and overclocked within an inch of its life
but what I want to know is whether it's worth paying the extra for the custom PCB version and will watercooling it make it more worth the extra money? (currently £150 difference)
I kinda know the answer to this anyway as it's usually (or always) down to the lottery of the chip. My reference 780Ti overclocked higher that the Kingpin version but this isn't guaranteed, again because of the lottery, but at least the custom PCB is guaranteed to overclock to what it's advertised at, or is it?
Ahhhh!
