If you did the £419 deal again I doubt many would have even looked at that £499 price on the evga.
Nope, both work.
You know one is DVI-D right? so no analog signal if you are trying to use a converter to VGA.

I think he's referring to the reference design SC and that the ACX SC will take over

Aaaa ok, yea no point in a reference sc if there is a same priced acx unless you prefer reference which is good for exhusting heat. I must say the evga sc is the best ref card by a mile.
Correct.
All reference 980's are end of life, a big reason for the massive price jumps you are seeing everywhere, they will only get more expensive as they become rarer.
Reason: board partners think they know better than NVIDIA and prefer to design their own, plus it saves them money and increases their margins as the NVIDIA cooler cost a small fortune.

Fair enough. Still a slight risk some chips might not clock well.
Got mine.
How cool is it? I have a reference 980 and considering one of these for SLI if it's actually much different in cooling performance.
Typically 10c ish cooler than reference cooler.
It does 1590 on the core with an extra 50mv.
Temps dont go above 50C at 100% fan speed.
Ive had it as high as 1625 so far.

Sounds identical to the one I tested, mine hit 1629MHz core for a heaven run, memory around 8100mhz, they do seem excellent.

Meh, they're not reference boards though are they? Any blocks in line?
The SC I have here doesn't exceed 28c under load on water. Crazy temps for a top tier card

I'm sort of regretting getting the 3 980s I did. Probably would've been better off with AMD cards for 4K, but I had my reasons for getting rid of them too.
Also sort of regretting going 4K at this point, maybe a decent 1440p would've been better.
I'll make do though, for now. I'm trooper like that!
3 reference cards on air run hot though, so haven't tried overclocking. So I'm quite jealous of the OC a lot of you are getting.
I'll WC one day. Probably.

Just set a steeper fan profile, they don't get half as loud as Kepler used to in that config. Depends on your airflow though and ambient
