Hi there


They are starting to ship, expected as early as next week possibly:



EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Classified ACX 2.0 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (04G-P4-2988-KR) @ £579.95 inc VAT

The new EVGA GeForce GTX 980 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.

Struggling to see why this is £80 more than this, other than the puny 12MHz base clock increase.

 

[Pelinox]

Ain't Classies cherry picked?

 

[Ryan-3]

It's also the price of two GTX 970's.

 

[Marine-RX179]

Unless these 980 can hit 1800MHz+ on air, I just don't see the point of spending average of £120 extra over the other 980...

Previously EVGA only binned the Classys, so they are basically guaranteed clockers while the rest of the line-up were silicon lottery.

I say previously because it looks from the specs that the Hydro Coppers are clocked even higher this gen so they may have binned them too this time around /shrug.

Yup

Worth it for the guys buying who do extreme clocking or just want a Classified.

Otherwise just buy the EVGA 980 SC model at sub £500.

 

[RobHague]

For £580 I'd hope to at least get double HARIBO

 

[leoncao]

Meh at the price:/ people spending that much money may be better off waiting the full fat maxwell?
