The GTX 980 Ti owners thread.

Yea 980Ti has got to be one of the best cards ive upgraded to so far. Best clocker and performer. I can see why it's recommended over the Fury x now! I almost bought AMDMatt's Fury x as well as he had it at a good price! Glad i paid that little bit more.

What sort of temps do you think i should keep the card under? At the moment i see it hangs about 68-70 degrees in most games is it good up to 80 degrees?
Not sure with the 980Ti as i know the 290x was good upto about 90 before worrying about hitting 94-95 degrees and thermal throttling.

For normal use it won't matter if you are running at around 68-70 degrees.

For maximum performance keep the temps as low as possible as the cards do limit the max boost by 13mhz for every 10 degrees or so. My EVGA cards don't like going over 54c when I use them for benching but for normal use like gaming they run hotter and quieter.
 
I aim for below 75.

Okay thanks guys!

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your 980 Ti.​
 
On the fence about what card I want.

Either the EVGA Classified.
Or the MSI Gaming.

Which one would you buy and what would you reckon be the best clocker?

Im leaning towards the classified.
 
Well, this happened.

nmV876I.jpg.png

Initial Heaven 4 1440p benching at stock clocks it gets 59.4fps, a nice improvement over my overclocked EVGA 780 Ti SC which got 42.9fps

Overclocking so far appears that the core isnt great unless i'm missing something with power limit / core voltage settings however memory is excellent. Heaven 4 I can take it to +700 (effective 8414 mhz) +750 the driver crashed. This could be due to the Samsung memory instead of Hynix that GPU-Z reports

The size of the classified is huge! It only just fits in my case actually, almost touching the HDD cage.

Gaming in 1440p is so much nicer now, going from ~45fps > 75fps. Hopefully the lows should be 50+ instead of 30
