Overclockers UK, has stock of the very first NVIDIA GTX 980 graphics card that is designed by 8Pack in conjunction with KFA2, together they have created an extreme graphics card with impressive boost clocks ideal for those wanting performance!

The selection process of the components to assemble the 8Pack Edition graphics cards is unique, allowing only the highest GPU core and memory type to be used with also uprated capacitors and VRM components to allow faster and more stable clock speeds.

Giving an even greater stability of power, gives greater performance, giving the graphics card a boost clock of at least 1440MHz out of the box and often being seen up to 1480MHz boost clock, along with the memory reaching consistently over 2050MHz when overclocked.

The key to provide a winning formula is the performance, with reliable stability along with the majestic aesthetics.

The 8Pack GTX 980 HOF also qualifies for NVIDIA's new Batman Arkham Knights and The Witcher 3 bundle.


KFA2 GeForce GTX 980 "8Pack Edition" 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card @ £589.99 inc VAT

8 Pack branches out further now with his very own graphics card. Aesthetically this is a great looking card with black PCB, Black/Gunmetal cooler, black fans and a black 8 Pack backplate. Enough about the looks this card has a further revised PWM/VRM compared to the original HOF cards. That means even great overclocking potential resulting on average far higher overclocks being made reachable like 1500MHz+ and region of 8000MHz memory clocks (not guaranteed).

With so much performance on tap out the box, infact this card out the box out performs any other 980 on the market and gets very close to Titan X performance, this card is an absolute beast.

Remember the perfect companion for the 8 Pack graphics card is of course the worlds most powerful and stable 8 Pack 2000W power supply built by Superflower.


Key Features:
- Completely redesigned PCB layout from the ground up, optimized for GM204

Yes.

With a decent PSU we'd be very surprised if a single card did not manage 1525/8000 clocks minimum. :)

I thought most 980's did 1500/8000 anyway?

Seems a hell of a premium for an extra few mhz, I'd probably still buy the cheaper EVGA Classified as well over this if I was in the market for a top end 980.

Nope, 8000 memory is very hard to achieve, check reviews most top out in reviews around 7600-7800MHz.

8 Pack has had special memory used, even Kitguru achieve over 8200MHz in their OC results, 8 Pack himself on LN2 has achieved 9000MHz memory speed, typically on air they hit 8200-8800MHz. :)

Of course buy the Classified, this is another option on the market and something we have designed just like our 970 Infin8 and 970 reference which have now sold over 5000 units combined. OcUK is doing something no other reseller does in the world and that is designing its own cards. :)

Looks like a nice Card and well done to OcUk for going for it.

For comparison, my Classified will Bench at 1600mhz Core and 8200 Ram, all on air with a little nudge of Core Volts (my chip doesn't like too much of a bump in Volts - seems happy enough at 1.25v).

Hats off, looks like a great card with the power phases to back it up.

I don't think it's fair that Ian reviews it mind you :p.

Two out of my three 980GTX reference cards did 2000 memory. Depends at what level you're talking - in terms of 8-Pack benching terms 2000 shouldn't be a problem for many. It's probably seemingly harder coming from Hynix as Sammy tends to be a lot tighter.
