EVGA GeForce GTX 980Ti VR Edition Gaming ACX 2.0+ 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (06G-P4-3996-KR) @ £629.99 inc VAT

The graphics card also has an internal HDMI connector, meaning no external cables will be visible.

EVGA ACX 2.0+ fans use double ball bearings, which offer 4X longer lifespan than the sleeve bearing fans used by competitors. The oil that is used in sleeve bearing fans makes them vulnerable and prone to failure after time when the oil dries up. Upgrade to EVGA ACX 2.0+ and your card will go the distance!

Did you know that power consumption of the fans can directly affect your maximum overclock? The maximum "power target" takes into account the fan power consumption, meaning the lower the power consumption from the fan, the more power available for the card. EVGA ACX 2.0+ coolers use more than 4X lower power than competitors allowing for better and more stable overclocks.
In some cases, just a few watts of additional power for the card can provide an additional headroom of up to +25MHz higher GPU or +350MHz memory frequency!

thats a good point lol

there's going to be a buttload of gfx cards with VRREADY!!!1 stickers this year tho huh :E
 
Gotta keep them new products rolling off the conveyor belt, huh EVGA?

Well I'm not sold until they release one with a 5.25" haribo dispenser.
 
Soooo that reference one, can I fit another cooler that should fit the reference PCB? Say something like the Corsair HG10 that I have spare after breaking my 980TI with it yesterday? Or does the extra gumph on the back (that isn't really visible in those pictures) get in the way?

£80 premium to get the Front Panel adapter?

Its just a HDMI USB3 extension.

The real advantage is not shown on the pictures above. The cards do have a HDMI connector at the other end of the card so you can connect the frontpanel internally and dont have "cable salad" arround the system.

Thats EVGA for you. Didnt they also charge ridiculous amounts for their SLI bridge too and claimed it made things faster ? lol

If I am not mistaking the aftermarket SLI bridges of other manifacturer are even more expensive then ours... Depending on which bridge you did use before it can also make things faster due to the high pixel clock rate which usually SLI bridges can not guarantee. If you are lucky the standard bridge you get can do it too but there is no guarantee.. If you are unlucky it can not run that clock which can cause issues in fancy SLI setups.
