New GPU

[webninja22]

Hi guys. I read many threads in this forum about gpu for hashcracking, but i dont know what to choose.
My budget is 500$.

I found this gpu 


Model: MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Twin Frozr V Gaming, 4096MB, GDDR5, 256bit, PCI-E, HDMI, 2 x DVI, DisplayPort
What you think about this GPU? Can you offer me different model ?

Thank you!

980 is a good card, but that card pictured is not a not reference design card, it is an OEM design card designed for gaming. You really need a reference design card for oclHashcat.

And why is the reference design card?
than it is better not to reference oclhashcat?
