EVGA GTX 980 Ti SC+ 6 GB

[W1zzard]

The EVGA GTX 980 Ti SC+ comes overclocked out of the box, using the company's ACX dual-fan cooling solution. It features low noise in gaming, and the fans will turn off completely in idle for that perfect noise-free experience. Performance levels exceed those of the much more expensive GTX Titan X.

Do you add the small amount of additional vCore when overclocking?

No. OC is done on clocks only

 

[dj-electric]

You are tearing me apart w1zzard! Would really like final OC figures.... Maybe even share some numbers off-review.

T_T

Another great custom [cooled] 980 Ti, EVGA's ACX 2.0 certainly lets the reference design stretch its legs.

I think this would be my card if I could afford it

 

[Dos101]

You definitely shouldn't rush your buying decisions now to, rather, wait another week until all the details are known.

Is that a hint to wait for the Fury X review instead of buying a 980Ti right now? I'm intrigued.....

Superb card. Well done, EVGA.

Seems that this 980Ti OC is one of the best looking ones out there. Love the use of thermal pads for the backplate to keep the chips even cooler & other cool stuff for an extra $20. What I really liked is that factory OC is a whole 100MHz more over stock, which makes it one of the more faster cards that's OCed out of the box.

When you look at retail prices, these are rarely significantly more than reference cards, always worth the buy.

These new chips are starting to really separate the coolers out now, the sheer size of the windforce finally starts to make sense. But really well done by eVGA to keep it within the standard PCB footprint and still have very good temps.

@W1zzard might want to start considering the different sizes of the coolers in the reviews, especially with the growing itx market

Reference 6+2 vrm pcb... tsss. Next one please.

Only if you want a product that uses more power and has 2nd rate driver support.

Performance wise the Fury X will be in the same range as the 980Ti..probably a few % points faster here and there.

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

real world benches from both Fury X & GTX 980Ti, single or dual VGA setup using DX12 API would be a very interesting article/topic.

I heard some complaints in reviews by buyers about the heatsink rattling and the fans having an unpleasant noise signature, any of this true?

If they complain about it it's probably true. RMA time.

EVGA may have the best customer service but their cards are not that good, except the classifieds.

 

[GorbazTheDragon]

I've had several EVGAs. currently a 760 ACX and a 670 SC, neither of them have had any problems at all. I'd say they are as good as the other manufacturers.

Why is the 390 / 390X missing from a few of the final charts ??

 

[nickbaldwin86]

hoping that the Fury X will drop and the 980Ti Prices will drop... I will pick up two of these if that happens

 

[nickbaldwin86]

I would also love to see SLi performance wish you had two to test. I want to know how many frames you are getting @ 1440p on FarCry4, BattleField 4, Last light, Crysis 3... I am looking for 144FPS but I am doubtful that will happen with two of these maybe two OCed? My 980s are running at 1502Mhz and they just don't cut it.

 

[CrazyBass]

This card is another example of what a challenge the AMD's rebrands and new cards will face in the market this year.

The only one I noticed it missing from was the performance per watt graphs. Maybe it's a sign that consumption is so bad that it fell off the chart.

Fan noise, Power Consumption, Performance Per Watt,

Dont really matter seem's that just have to start pulling up "other" review's here and start comparing that way
Just seem'd odd, that usally the new" card's would all still be listed in all "comparble" review's, not sure why the 290/X and 295X2 make all the chart's, but not 390

Hasn't been ANY issue in showing the 290x and 295X2's "Power off the chart" comparision's {Even seen 7990's tossed in some] so that's not a valid point

It's wiz's review format the way he see's fit.

At any rate, 390X average 30% beter for the dollar, .......BOTH are 0 db noise at idle ....................

And yes, we could go back and just look at his 390X review, didn't use'd to do that before with newer mainstream cards

 

[nickbaldwin86]

Haha that is a funny thought... 390x mainstream...lol keep the jokes coming

 

[Aquinus]

I feel someone might want to say, "Just look at the 290X," considering the whole rebranding debacle.
