GTX 970, GTX 980, GTX 980 Ti, GTX Titan X. Buy whichever you can afford.

ok since i have to spend a lot more cash what is the best gpu for less than 800€?

well, you can get a single GTX 970 for ~330€ which is your initial budget.

If descrypt is really important for you, you better go AMD. The 290x is still the fastest card to crack descrypt hashes. A stock clocked 290x is faster than a +220Mhz overclocked Titan X.

But note, this is unique to descrypt!! For all other algorithm, also for md5apr1 (md5crypt), things are like epixoip said.

Good choice, it has high perf/$ and perf/W ratios.
