Yeah I Agree nothing wrong with EVGA that's why I went for their PSU.

There was tho a Big deal about the 1070 and 1080 overheating VRM's

EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 VRM Catches Fire Caught On Camera

An easy fix by adding thermal Pads ( In their wisdom they had decided not to fit any saving of 0.10 Euro )

Cost them $$$$$ to put right and Damaged there Reputation for a While till Subject "Cooled"

over

Went for A Zotac GTX980ti prior to this , Its Cheaper than most of the other options Replaced a Zotac GTX660 I'd had for years. Made in Germany Super reliable

It's outstanding, its also Huuuuggge ( 3 Fans ) had to remove part of my case to get it in ( where the 2.5 trays fit )

1 area that AMD are striving to give you more for your hard earned $ is More VRAM even on low/mid end cards. A Luxury Nvidea makes you pay an Arm and a Leg for. AMD are very Strong in this respect.
