MSI box artwork is very distinctive and immediately recognisable. Their dragon mascot makes an appearance alongside the product name and branding.
The rear of the box highlights some of the technical product specifications- including the Zero Frozr cooler, SuperSu Pipe and Torx Fans.
The accessories bundle includes a software disc, literature on the product and power and video converter cables.
This is a great looking card, from all angles. MSI have fitted a custom backplate to the card, featuring a subtle dragon etching on one side.
The MSI GTX980 Ti Gaming 6G is SLI capable in 2, 3 and 4 way configurations. It takes power from two eight pin power connectors.
We loved the red I/O port covers that much we had to take a photo ‘before and after'. The MSI card ships with a single DVI-D port. There are three DisplayPorts 1.2 and a single HDMI 2.0 port along the bottom of the I/O plate. If you wish, you can use all these ports at the same time for triple monitor gaming.
The MSI card is equipped with nickel plated copper heatpipes which run from the core across the length of the PCB.
Four thick heatpipes run into two seperate racks of aluminum fins on either side of the core block. The card itself has a plate covering the memory, and the VRMs are actively cooled as well.
An overview of the hardware in the latest version of GPUz – as discussed on the previous page. This overclocked GM200 core runs at 1178mhz (1,279mhz boost) and is built on the 28nm process. The GTX980 Ti has 96 ROPs, 176 Texture units (Titan X has 192 texture units) and 2,816 CUDA Cores (Titan X has 3,072 CUDA Cores). The 6GB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1774mhz (7.1Gbps effective) and is connected via a 384 bit memory interface. This is the second GTX980 Ti we have tested to date with tweaked, enhanced memory settings.

KitGuru Advent Calendar Day 22: Win one of TWO Sharkoon gaming chairs!
For Day 22 of the KitGuru Advent Calendar, we are teaming up with Sharkoon to give TWO lucky readers a new ergonomic chair!
Very nice review, I almost regret not waiting for the Non reference model cards, but my card overclocks better than this sample , Plus that Green Geforce GTX logo pulsing through my corsair graphite 780T window is pretty pleasing to the eye. The Fury X driver optimizations can’t come quick enough, because right now it has well and truly been placed beneath heel of the GTX 980Ti non reference cards
This one is very tempting, considering it’s essentially the same as the G1 and Strix, but cheaper than either one. Very nice review, Kitguru, thanks!
I never imagined that the MSI would actually beat the Gigabyte and be cheaper…..very impressed.

Just got mine. Absolutely love it – it’s a great looking card. Hey – I just essentially got a Titan X for ~$600.
I just like the MSI GTX980 Ti Gaming 6G over the Gigabyte. Just MHO. And not a hint of coil whine either.
Great review ! Just got mine 2 days ago. Cannot wait to get all my component to finish my new rig, and see how works this beast 🙂
