GTX 980Ti finally launched - MSRP $649 - Reviews

[RussianSensation]

Wow, thanks for posting that!

The Zotac Extreme looks impressive. I wonder how hard you could push that with a full block on H2O?

Stock clocks are impressive...

Edit: Also has 3 DP ports, which is nice too...

I thought so too but the best is yet to come.

Has science gone too far?

thing that killed me about my Windforce 670 was I was sooooooo v-core limited. If I could have cranked the V-core to 1.25 or something volts I could have overclocked like 30%. But Nvidia limits you

there are ways around that....

I thought Galaxy was done making HOF? Good to see it, they are beastly.

Seeing that nice watercooled model makes me really tempted to pick one up (when it's out). I gave up on full watercooling, because it felt like more of a hassle than what was necessary (given that I'm not a huge OC'er), but I'd like to go with a GPU-only loop next time. It's not really necessary... I just don't like hearing the GPU fan noise when I'm in an intensive game, and I can hear it on my current Gigabyte 780 Ti WindForce 3 at times.

I'd say this doesn't go too far enough.

that's an absurd amount of power into that card

Maybe it's just my imagination but I'm seeing more watercooled cards. Wouldn't be surprised if next gen or two AIO CLC is the norm at the high end.

This generation is taking AIO CLC from "that thing AMD did to get two full power GPUs on the same card" to a common way to differentiate high end cards, and I'm loving the looks of it. I was considering selling my card and picking up a Fury to get to play with an AIO, but that hardly seems necessary now.

Its almost like a objectively more effective cooling system works well on high TDP cards....

Yeah!! The EVGA 980 Ti ACX 2.0+ SC+ (on the EVGA site for $679) is available on Amazon.... for $901.

That might be a placeholder price. Keep your eye on it to see if the price will go down to msrp.
Then again, it might sell out before that happens

Looks like a 16+3 Phases design, same that's on my 780 Lightning

I wonder is there is a custom Bios installed? Without unlocking the power limit, this is all for nothing. I've always liked the HOF cards, would look sweet with my B&W build, as the Lighting looks like a ricer and out of place...

Assuming AMD doesn't bring the pain and I can get these in the US without a ridiculous surcharge....I will have myself two or three of these.

5 minutes ago it showed 19 left in stock, now it shows 13 left in stock. People are actually paying $220 bucks more for the privilege of having it early. People are nuts! For that price you might as well get a Titan.

but it's still $100 cheaper than the titan x. savings, yo! lol

Honestly, unless you need SLI, you could grab one of these and maybe push to 1600 or 1700mhz? That's stock SLI performance territory, with scaling taken into account. Give or take.

Would be worth it just for the fun.

2 of these OC'd would also likely be on-par or better (in gaming) than 3x stock Ti's or TXs. I'm not too concerned with benchmarks, more game performance.

False, go over into CPUs & Overclocking and let the fear mongers tell you how air cooling is superior to AIOs .

This gets me excited. Just need to be patient until we start seeing these in the wild and I can confirm they either arrive with a custom BIOS or one is available when I get my hands on it.

Wow.
I have the same model in transit from newegg and I'm feeling bummed out for paying 690 for something that might be somewhat obsolete in a years time.

Is that single slot?!? If so I'm converting my 3x Titans into a Titan-Z for dedicated compute, and getting two of these for gaming. Edit : Looks dual slot. That stupid DVI port again. Please, just get rid of it on these watercooled cards.

But that always happens with technology man. Nothing you can do about it. Something new is always around the corner. I want to upgrade my 970 and then I will not look back for at least 3 years. But I will not pay $200 extra

THIS!

Honestly, they need to do away with all full-size ports. Go mini-DP only...
