We wanted to make time to test the Gigabyte GTX980Ti XTREME Gaming Windforce at both reference clock speeds and when overclocked to the limit.
Even though the Gigabyte GTX980Ti XTREME Gaming Windforce is massively overclocked ‘out of the box' we managed to push the core by close to another 9% before instability would occur. The GDDR5 memory responded well to our overclocking tests, hitting 2,003mhz (8Gbps effective) before artifacting would cause problems.
That is some bit of kit, all I need now is an extra bit of cash to get one…..about £598 extra should do it 😛
Bah humbug.
On page 2 you say ‘Direct CU II cooler’ not sure Asus would agree with that. And what is the difference between this one and the normal windforce cooler? Does this replace it?
I have fixed that, thanks for bringing it up. I think they designed this particular cooling system just for this specific card
On page 3.Overclocking, for these overclocking settings, what is the max GPU Boost Clock as reported by Afterburner as it doesn’t appear here in the photo, I guess it could reach the 1480/1490 Mhz with that extra voltage on the core
Is this better than the Gigabyte gtx 980 ti g1?
How do you change the lighting effects as there doesn’t appear to be any option to do this in the OC GURU
What rig are you guys using, I can’t find any mention of it in the review!
Its in the latest edition of OC Guru II
Hey, u did mistake here: “Cons:
The Asus ROG Matrix GTX980 Ti Platinum is the best GTX980 ti we have tested, but it is also the most expensive.” Not Asus, but Gigabyte! =))) Oh, these copypasters…
the ROG Matrix GTX980 Ti Platinum is from Asus. They are simply saying this is not the best GTX 980 Ti, so is the ROG Matrix. I don’t see any mistake in there >.<
I’ll call bullshit on that , it’s not any less secure than it was
