Yeah

I lost my signal at work right before ordering and missed out.

When I last checked about an hour ago, they had 5 left of the OcUK GeForce GTX 980 "Reference Design.

All sold.

EVGA 980 GTX arrived an hour ago Did a quick and dirty overclock of 203Mhz on the core and 259Mhz on the memory. Ran through Firestrike without a hitch though I heard the fan speed up noticeably at points. Still a quiet system though. Firestrike score was 11334 and I know this card can improve on that.

Nice! that beats my twins by a decent margin (Last run was 10346 on Firestrike extreme) both at 1202/7008

Am i the only bugger then who is refusing to buy a reference? Im going to be so fustrated checking the dates daily.

Judging by the clocks most are reaching with these cards, I don't think it matters which one you buy. It's all down to preference & taste.

Yup i hate the silver cooler on reference though, I refuse to buy one. I just want something else that aint reference and is in stock.

Gibbo is there anything due soon? Like two weeks soon and not Oct meaning 31st Oct lol.

Silent_Scone · 20 Sep 2014 at 22:59

Ordered a further two.

Since I have an Asus Swift, i'm most likely going to return my R295X2 for 2x 980's. Are the coolers on the Reference style of the EVGA SC's decent? Or would you guys recommend a different card?

Supernaut91 · 21 Sep 2014 at 00:01

Would love to know how people are hitting 1600mhz on core clock without upping volts. I wouldn't imagine it would be stable. Unless I just got really unlucky. I can get about 1400mhz on the core. :confused:

radar19 · 21 Sep 2014 at 01:55

Any chance of you OCUK guys doing a ready made card with a waterblock? I want to buy 3 next month.
