I don ' t know about the best , the only differences between cards I can think of are thermals , overclockability , quality and aesthetics . My MSI 1080 Gaming X after being watercooled doesn ' t drop from 2025 MHz in games and I can overclock it to 2114 MHz and 11286 MHz memory . It hits its power limit at 2012 MHz in furmark and currently sits at 43 Cin furmark if that wasn ' t clear enough , idle is 22 C with an ambient of 20 C . The factory dual fan cooling should be good enough and it comes with LED lights . Goes for $ 619 . 90 in GTX 1080 GAMING 3 DisplayPortdpB 01 GLYD 7 MG and has an extra $ 20 off after rebate . <| sep |> Yeah it ' s called ' being walked ' and is pretty standard . The manager or HR will normally hint that if you leave now with no fuss , you ' ll get a good reference for your next job .
