Which 980ti to get?

So I'm upgrading my EVGA 780ti SC to a 980ti but I'm just so spoilt for choice!
Read good things about the MSI one but i do like the EVGA one, not sure why but the EVGA logo just looks sexy to me.

Preferably i want it to be a superclocked one. Any opinions on which one to get?
 
Really impressed with the quietness of the MSI 6G but I think if you prefer the look of a certain model like the EVGA SC you should probably go for it. There isn't really a huge performance difference in game with the OC models, so if you like the looks and are hapy with reports of acoustics/temps you're good to go.
 
OCUK Ref and clock it yourself - it'll probably beat a G1 or Gaming.
 
Doesn't really count when yours is watercooled :p My reference is boosting to 1480ish but hitting the power limit so with a flashed bios it would probably do more.

I'd go G1, but it looks so ugly!

It did 1550 on stock bios and cooler.
 
Yeah, I was really surprised by the Strix's performance (review here).

Compared to the MSI Gaming 6G, it is both louder and hotter. And for some reason they only overclocked the core by 50MHz, whereas they were quite happy with increasing it by 100MHz for the MSI card.

However, this is currently the only review on the Internet that compares the Strix to another custom card and not just the reference model. I would personally wait and see if other reviews are in agreement or not.
