Another 1080ti question

[Romeo Blue]

Am late to the party, but looking to jump on the 1080ti bandwagon before they finally all disappear. However the choice seems to be getting thinner by the day. but have narrowed it down to the 3 below...Performance wise i'm sure they're all fairly similar, but can anyone recommend one over another, or what not to pick out of the 3? Thanks in advance

Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti Aorus 11GB
MSI GeForce GTX 1080Ti Gaming 11GB
MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming Trio 11GB

Gaming trio is probably the best out of the bunch being a triple fan cooler so it should run the quietest out of the three.

Have owned and wasn’t impressed by the aorus, quality wise and performance wise vs the gaming X. The trio looks the best in my opinion and with neutral colors will fit many themes.

But yes regardless of model all down to the silicon lottery, so they all will pretty much overclock and perform the same.

The MSI Gaming and Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme Edition come out favourably. The Gaming Trio wasn't reviewed.

Looks like the general rule that says 3 fans will be quieter than 2 fan designs isn't too reliable, as sometimes it's quite the opposite. Definitely saw another round up sometime ago where the negative of being louder was almost exclusively limited to the 3 fan designs.
