the new nvidia geforce gtx 980/970 is powered by the next generation nvidia maxwell architecture, giving you incredible performance, unmatched power efficiency, and cutting-edge features.

maxwell is the most advanced gpu architecture ever made, designed to be the engine of next generation gaming. inspired by light, it was designed to solve some of the most complex lighting and graphics challenges in visual computing. for the first time, gaming gpu's can dynamically render indirect light using the new vxgi (voxel global illumination technology). scenes are significantly more lifelike as light interacts more realistically in the game environment.

the gtx 980 is the worlds fastest gpu and the gtx 970 offers the most advanced performance in its class. each delivers 2x the performance of previous-generation card, bringing new gaming experiences to virtual reality, and ultra resolution 4k displays.

enable the detail of 4k monitors, on a 1080p display. dsr produces smoother images by rendering a game at a high resolution, then downscaling it to the native resolution of the display using advanced filtering.

geforce gtx 980 and 970 cards support tear-free, super-fast nvidia g-sync monitor display technology including 4k. together, these technologies provide the most immersive and competitive gaming experiences possible.

With the game sold mine worked out as £397 and after installing it i am imrpessed but i cant power on until my cable comes tomorrow.


Very nice so far though, Looks solid and beautiful and the backplate is a great addition. The only gripe i have with this is i wish i could easily get off the front plate because the 3 fans are wimpy plastic. I can only imagine the cooling power if we had thicker better blades it is not a massive thing to do i guess because under that is a perfectly nice and flat big heatsink which you could cable tie on SP120's. Nvidia really need to let us unlock the voltage on these babies.

Overall i reccomened as long as mine doesnt whine! :D
