EVGA GTX 980 Ti Classified ACX 2.0+ Review

We measure the amount of power drawn from the wall by the entire test system. Our Core i7-5960X CPU is heavily overclocked and has a large bearing on the power draw readings when it is heavily loaded in GTA V (our chosen game for system readings). The important information is the difference in power draw levels between each card.

As already pointed out, the R9 295X2 was tested using Metro: Last Light, rather than GTA V, due to its operating bug with the latter.

power

Unsurprisingly, EVGA's factory-overclocked GTX 980 Ti Classified consumes more energy than the reference board, despite its enhanced power delivery system design. An extra 53W on top of the GTX 980 Ti reference board power draw puts EVGA's GTX 980 Ti Classified right on its 300W rated TDP.

That 20% increase in board power for the EVGA card is directly proportional to some of the performance increases that were observed in certain tests.

  3. congrats .

  4. I did this, had to RMA because of loud faulty pump, new one was better but still at idle the pump was annoying, so bought this Classified and OH MY G*D! Cheaper, Quieter, better overclocking, massive PCB and only 10c hotter. Wish I bought the Classified to begin with lol

  5. You could liquid cool the classified as well if you want.
