The new EVGA GeForce GTX 980 is powered by the next-generation NVIDIA Maxwell architecture, giving you incredible performance, unmatched power efficiency, and cutting-edge features. Maxwell is the most advanced GPU architecture ever made, designed to be the engine of next-generation gaming. Inspired by light, it was designed to solve some of the most complex lighting and graphics challenges in visual computing. For the first time, gaming GPUs can dynamically render indirect light using the new VXGI (Voxel Global Illumination technology. Scenes are significantly more lifelike as light interacts more realistically in the game environment. Incredible Speed and Power Efficiency The GTX 980 is the world’s fastest GPU and the GTX 970 offers the most advanced performance in its class. Each delivers 2x the performance of previous-generation cards, bringing new gaming experiences to virtual reality, HD, and ultra-resolution 4K displays. Dynamic Super Resolution Technology Enable the detail of 4K monitors, on a 1080P display. DSR produces smoother images by rendering a game at a high resolution, then downscaling it to the native resolution of the display using advanced filtering. Super-Smooth and Stutter-Free GeForce GTX 980 and 970 cards support tear-free, super-fast NVIDIA G-Sync monitor display technology, including 4K. Together, these technologies provide the most immersive and competitive gaming experiences possible.

This card is ridiculous. Most of you probably already know that if you’re looking at getting a 980. I have two of them actually since my build is intended to run games in 4K (which it certainly does). The path to getting to this particular card however – the NVIDIA reference design with the blower cooler – was rather unusual. I started with two EVGA 970 FTW edition cards. They were pretty good, although I was seeing quite a bit of stuttering during intense action in games at 4K, and the airflow limitations of my case (the beautiful InWin 904) meant that after a while at load the glass on the case would get so hot that it would literally almost burn your hands. Then the whole “RAM-Gate” 3.5GB issue came out for the 970, and while otherwise it wouldn’t have bothered me, since I was trying to build a 4K gaming rig, the extra 500MB of RAM was actually something that would always bug me and would make me worry that I was missing out on peak performance. Plus I just didn’t like the idea of having what was essentially a 980 that was binned and nerfed with engineering hacks to limit its performance. So I used EVGA’s awesome Step-Up program to upgrade both cards to GTX 980s – the only problem was that I wanted to switch to the reference cooler to get that hot air out of my case, but EVGA was only offering the same ACX 2.0 cooler that was on my 970s, which would just mean even MORE heat in the case with the 980s. So upon receiving the new Step-Up cards I sold them on Amazon and purchased two of these, the reference 980 from EVGA.The difference in performance as well as heat in my case are both nothing short of amazing. I can actually run games like Dying Light in 4K with a single 980 almost as well as I could with both 970s, due in part probably to the pure performance and memory of the card itself, but also to the lack of thermal throttling that my ACX 2.0 970s were experiencing. I can easily overclock these 980s to over 1300Mhz, and even running FurMark full-tilt you can’t feel ANY heat buildup in the case (remember before it would be painful to the touch, so that’s a HUGE difference). The cards will run at a steady 86 degrees Celsius under full load with the fans at about 3/4 speed, which are also just as quiet as the ACX 2.0 fans under load by the way. I know that is probably crazy hot to a lot of people, but in my case (physical case) I am happy with this tradeoff, and the cards are designed to run up to over 90 degrees C anyway. I am able to maintain much higher clock speeds without thermal throttling using the reference design coolers, and the internal case temperatures are negligible compared to what they used to be. Plus the physical build quality of this card is way more impressive than the ACX 2.0 cards in my opinion. The shell seems to be some sort of combination of hard plastic and metal alloy, and there is a solid metal backplate that covers the entire PCB (the ACX 2.0 cards don’t come with a backplate at all). Not to mention the LED lighting, which is also not included with the ACX 2.0 cards. I always felt like I was going to break the old card, but this one feels almost bulletproof. Worth the premium that they are charging for the reference design to me.Easily the best upgrade I’ve made to my computer.

I won’t go into a lot of detail here as others have done a far better job of that.The 980 series, and not just limited to EVGA brand, is probably the best new X99 upgrade card one can get at the moment.If you can slap your older 780Ti’s down on a new X99 board by all means do so and save yourself some money, they are just as good.My old card was the EVGA GTX580 card, but I fear it might have been just a tad bit too old to carry over.*Watch your driver installs though, and you might want to go into your setup and disable some of it’s services. It seems the drivers for this card arevery service happy when it comes to updating and overall general “experience” bloat. At least that is what I’m finding, and in my opinion.I like to keep a lean operating system setup, so take the above as you undoubtedly will.Temps on this card are pretty decent provided you have your “over-all” cooling solution taken care of.*The back plate that comes with this card is a nice addition as it seems to do a better job of shielding it from proximity related heat.My Build:Asus X99 Deluxe, Corsair H100i, Corsair 32GB DDR4 at 2666 (CMD32GX4M4A2666C16), Plextor M6e Series 256GB M.2 PCIe Internal Solid State Drive, Seasonic PLATINUM-1000 ATX 1000 Power Supply, EVGA GTX980 4GB GDDR5 256bit,2-4TB drives, 2-3TB drives, 2 other SSDs

Product came in the allotted time frame, works amazingly.Pros:Performs very well, doesn’t scale as well for me at 1440p or 4k, destroys everything on 1080p though.The cooler is built like a tank but also looks awesome. Especially above my SoundBlaster Z.Very, very quiet. When the fans rev up there is no wobbling plastic shrouds or vibration, all you hear is the air being pushed out the back.Love that it has a back-plate for support. No flimsy card sagging with this bad boy.Cons:Like previously stated, doesn’t scale as well above 1080p, but that was expected with this purchase.Doesn’t clock as high as I’d like, video drivers fail at 1490 and above with temps below 70C and voltage bumped up +.50mV. The memory clocks at 8000 just fine though. I suppose this is a halfway pro/halfway con.Not sure how much it matters, but the one I received had an ASIC of 68.7%. But, like I said, not sure if that really matters.All in all, very happy with my purchase, awesome card to break my flagship cherry with, per say.

Solid performance, low power consumption and runs cool!I bought this to upgrade an EVGA 680. Not only does the 980 have double the pixel rate of the 680, it does it while using less power (165w vs 195w) and running about 10C cooler. Simply amazing.This is the “reference” card, which out-of-the-box is a bit slower than the “superclocked” versions. However, you can increase the GPU and Memory clocks via EVGA’s free “PrecisionX” software.This is my third EVGA branded NVidia card. Why EVGA? Go spend some time on their forums, and see how they handle things like firmware problems and RMAs. I’ve never had a problem, but it is comforting to know the support is there if I ever do. And investigate their “step up” program, where anytime within 90 days you can upgrade to a different product for just the price difference.

Mi mejor compra en Amazon
Compre esta tarjeta de vídeo a un excelente precio, en ningún lado la hubiera encontrado así, la tarjeta aunque no es la mas nueva del mercado, es una tarjeta de gama alta de las mejores.Funciona tal y como me lo esperaba muy bien, es potente y ademas luce mucho en mi gabinete, a sido mi mejor compra hasta el momento gracias Amazon.
