Yeah but from everyone who has owned the Amp Extreme it is essentially silent at 40% fan speed at under 70c and boosts to over 1400mhz straight out of the box. That definitely has to put it at the top with if not above the MSI. I haven't heard of a single problem from anyone who owns one of these. No matter whether it's not as popular a brand as MSI it doesn't make the card any worse.

Cant really comment on the AMP having never owned one but even at 80% fan speed the MSI is barely audible. It may just be me but I feel more comfortable buying MSI

Playing bf4 just now, with the fan curve above a max of 64c. Took my headphones off for a bit to check sound level from the card. Zilch.

I think that the 980 Ti is where Zotac has managed to really perfect their Amp Extreme line, the 980 amp extremes were pretty abysmal from what I heard. To be fair I was set on the MSI as well, but wanted a card that could sit below 50c for benchmarking. I'm happy that I can have the card silent for gaming and still cool, and then have that extra rpm to go loud for benching and insanely cool
finally managed to have a bit of a blast with the G1. After switching from 780ti SLI there is a huge difference in Shadow of Mordor at 1440p. Its wonderfully smooth. very happy with the swap
Is it really that good? I have 780 SLI and really really tempted to go single card 980ti. Although most of the games I play perform great, its the occasional stuttering in Witch and GTA that are increasingly bugging me. Plus the odd tittle that doesn't support SLI eg Wolfenstien..

I moved from sli 780 to a single ti, whilst i dont play those games mentioned. Its a nice improvement. Less power used, less heat and noise and more vram.
Yeah I think I am convinced. I don't have my cards overclocked, even the temp limit is on default, anything else the noise becomes seriously annoying, not so much me wearing headphone, but the wife watching the TV complains, so not good! They scream after 10 mins of Farcry 4.

I moved from sli 780 gaming editions to a single TX AIO and its a tiny bit faster but with much better lows and no stutter

I've been testing my G1 Gaming for coil whine, and I noticed that the card is running 1354 on the core at 1.187v. Shouldn't the volts be 1.21?
Also, as soon as it hits 70C it throttles... How would I raise that threshold? It seems to ignore the slider in Afterburner.
Edit: The card is at stock settings.

Why should it be 1.21?
My msi card does 1535 on 1.187
The way to stop the card going below 1354 would be to overclock it, +100 on the core is a very conservative OC, you can also increase the fan speed to stop it hitting the temp that makes it clock down

My 970 and 980 cards sat at that voltage. I thought it was a standard but wasn't sure.

The card sticking to using a lower voltage is actually an indication you have a "good" chip as it means you have headroom to push higher
1.187 seems to be the standard voltage for a 980ti

Cool, cheers.

My voltage is @ 1.1740 1475 +500 memory, but my power limit is holding me back - if I push any higher I goes to 110/110 then down to 100 - back to 110.
Shame they are power limited too much.

It seems to be temperature that is holding me back... Throttles by 13hz around 67C.

Mid 60's/70's & 80's all downclock the GPU - to keep max clock you need to have it run at below 60c roughly to ensure it stays at max.

Cheers, I've set a custom profile topping out at 75% and it's doing the trick.
I didn't realise these cards ran so hot.
