Hello all,
I have an aging FT77 rig with 8 x 7970's in it that I'm looking to update. From what I can tell the Titan X cards are the latest and greatest, but probably not worth the extra money compared to the 1080's. At this point I'm leaning towards getting 4 x 1080's to make cooling less of an issue.
Assuming people agree with the notion of getting 1080's instead of Titan X's, is there a specific model of 1080 that people have found more reliable? I don't mind paying a bit more; I just want it to not overheat/throttle all the time or die in a few months.
I'm looking at the PNY's as they seem decent, but I'm also confused as to what I'm seeing as I search around.

The first is $700, the other is $1000, and as far as I can tell they are the exact same card.
Feedback would be welcome.
