Video Cards
It's best to know a bit about ur system, however, I would list them as such, based on benching results from previous versions and the current ones I own.
Now as cooling has improved considerably across the board, some brands r likely much better.
EVGA Asus Gigabyte Galax then MSi. Some of the other brands like Club 3D I have never benched b4. Hands down EVGA for everything, warranty,performance,...
For performance past the EVGA, the DIRCU II OC series rival EVGA, though warranty experiences have left a bad taste in my mouth too many times recently to recommend buying new.
I buy used, I know it works, and if I have a RMA then I'm getting back a refurbed anyway.
I have had decent results with Galaxy cards b4 but haven't benched 1 for a while. Same with the Gigabyte, which overall has imho the most improved cooling compared to b4 WF.
Again, these are not carved in stone.
My current 980 Strix, with wb got over 8600 on the memory. Again, this is also subjective as some buy to match their colour scheme or for other reasons, brand loyalty,...
Even then, it's still a crap shoot as I've had reference models beat performance based models,...I can't stress enough about cooling though, as most cards dump the heat into the case.
If it gets warmer than you would like change or add case fans to higher cfms, or add a gpu fan if u don't already have one. I leave a cpl extra expansion slots open to improve air flow.
Most on here have had plenty of experience with different gpus, so I'm sure they can recommend stuff based on experience as well as if not better than I can.
Hope that helps a bit.
