980ti sizing against 970

[sitruz]

Hiya,

I've got a Bit Fenix Neos and a KFA2 GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infin8 Black Edition" at the moment that I'm looking to upgrade to a 980ti.

Are the sizing on them similar or same as the 970's? Will they fit a Bit Fenix Neos case?

Cheers

Depends on the card you are looking to buy, if you visit the manufacture homepage for that product it will give you the dimensions.

Pretty sure the reference cards are the same length, it's the custom coolers and PCBs that make the difference.

Measured up and thanks to the 2.5 bay frame being smaller, theres a big bit of extra space.

I've got the KFA2 GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infin8 Black Edition" 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **WorldWide Exclusive**, which seems to be very very popular. The 980ti version doesn't seem to have generated much insterest, or at least reviews (KFA2 GeForce GTX 980Ti "Hall of Fame 8 Pack Approved Edition" 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card). Is this a decent card or is that people just flock towards the mainstream names more?

The 980Ti version of that card seems to have the fan controller issue that the Zotac AMP! also has (although I don't think all models have it) where the fan doesn't stay a consistent speed, regardless of what you set it to.

If you like the aesthetics and the fans randomly turning up for a second or two every so often won't annoy you, go for it.
