    The Poseidon is a waste of money unless you have a water loop. FYI

    If money is not a deciding factor, grab a 980ti.

    I would go with the zotac one.

    The Poseidon is actually more a waterblock card(if im not mistaken) which you need a costum loop for.

    Go Zotac if you don't have any other options (like EVGA or MSI).

    Thank you all for your replies.
    So i decided to go to GTX 980 Ti.I dont have options like MSI or EVGA,my options are Asus Strix,Asus Poseidon and Zotac Extreme.

    I really want Poseidon after my older card burned (fire burn and broken my gtx 780 ti pcb),that why i really want cool card.

    I have corsair H100i (i know it closed loop),so should i buy dedicated water cooling for Poseidon?or there other way i can take?(sorry im newbie in pc building)please give me hint or link can help me.

    For help you advice me,my case is CM Cosmos SE,and im gonna purchase corsair ax760 because i think my Xigmatech NRP 1002 not too good (boomed 2 months ago,and i got new one for warranty).

    Really thank you all

    I don't think you understand, you need a costum watercooling loop for the poseidon. It doesn't have an air cooler on it.

    Out of all those the Zotac is the best as per cooling and clocks.

    Ah thats my bad, when I googled it I thought that was the normal Strix version.

    But still the Zotac Extreme AMP is the better choice.

    I though poseidon cards have air cooling with an option to go liquid.

    Thats what they are, but still, it's better to use their liquid part as the air option is sub par to the rest of the competition.

    Yes but why pay the premium over the STIX for something that will not cool as good on air alone. That's why I called it a waste of money if you don't have a loop.
