The ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Ti MATRIX PCB is almost 11 Inches in length which is roughly 28 cm, and then the cooler extends that another 2cm. So please make sure it can actually fit in your chassis as in total that's 12 Inches / 30cm roughly.

At the top of the card you can see the two 8-pin power headers. That's 150 Watts each + 75 Watts over the PCI-Express slot = 375 Watts. Plenty for a card rated at 250 Watts we feel. And yes, there is overclocking potential left.

At the backside you'll spot a Molex connector, this is used with LN2 cooling only to heat up memory. Next to that you'll spot a fail-safe BIOS.

As you can see, the back plate protects the backside, it has plenty of meshes and openings so this actually is a well designed backplate. It is also roughly 1mm away from the PCB for the backside to be able to breathe. I would have preferred the GPU spot to be an open vent hole though.

The ROG logo on the top side is an RGB LED and it will change color based on the workload of the GPU going from green to red.

You can game with up to 4 monitors at any one time using a combination of the various display outputs. Recommended is to use the Display-Ports for three displays for best compatibility.
