Why does GPUZ show the 980 as a 32ROP card?

Just ran my GPU-Z and it came back with 64 :)

Maybe a bug with your driver installation ?

Depends on the rest of your system but OC3D had a 4960X, R4E, 32GB of memory and 1 x 980 and it pulled 400w from the wall at load.

I was just curious as it requires 2x8-pin instead of the 1x6/8 of the reference cards, and didn't know if that'd affect power consumption much.

Edit: Just checked the pictures for the product itself and the box says 1x8 and 1x6 whereas the description for the item says 2x8?

Inno3D Geforce GTX 980 Reference

Hi.

I collected and installed my Inno3D Geforce GTX 980 card into my computer over the weekend and the results are impressive. The card performs around 2 times quicker than my old XFX Radeon 7950 and runs much cooler too :) It looks great too inside my old Cooler Master Storm Scout case (see last picture below) although with this reference design, it only just fits in lengthwise :D When I receive my new 1440p monitor, this card is more than ready for it. Well done to NVidia.

I'm wondering now if it is time to upgrade my overclocked Intel i5 2500K processor and motherboard considering that it is limited to PCI Express V2.0. Is it worth the upgrade?

Regards

Steve

The two fans (Rad/vrm) are connected to the GPU fan controller and the card fan speeds perfectly match the higher revining Corsair SP120 PWM fan. Remember the card will try and rev the fans up if it doesnt see higher enough rpms and over compensate.
This is why the noctua vrm cooler fan is a slave on the splitter. I never had to remap the fan speed using EVGA precision i was happy with the air / temp relation.

I had no idea you could change it to cpu temperature, or are you talking about motherboard fan control?

no there is software (speed fan) that can change a motherboard fan to work based on gpu temp if you wish it
 
Anyone know if there is a difference between PCIE x16 2.0 and PCIE x16 3.0 on a single 980? I'm still on a sandybridge system.

Also, are there any issues or bugs that I should expect with these cards? Someome mentioned a voltage lag bug?
