GALAX GeForce GTX 980 HOF review - Product Showcase

With its three DisplayPort ports, the card could even manage 4K monitors in surround. The card is based on a dual-slot dual design.

 
 


Package contents

  • 1x Graphics Card
  • Quick Installation Guide
  • User Manual
  • 2x 8-pin PCI power converter
  • 1 x DVI to VGA
  • Do not Disturb door sign

 

 
 

The HoF has been fitted with two 8-pin power jacks (PCI PEG). Each connector can deliver 150 Watts and then the PCIE Slot can power another 75 Watts as well. So the design is 375 Watts; at least we have enough juice available for some overclocking eh? The card has a 10-phase (8+2 GPU and memory) power design.
 


The card has SLI connectors so if you've got cash to spend, 2, 3 and 4-way SLI are an option to pursue, though we always recommend two cards maximum for the best scaling and as few driver issues as possible. Tweaked, we’ve seen this 980 board reach over 1.5 GHz on the Turbo clock frequency, very nice but we'll talk more about that later on in this article.

 

The cooler has 4x 8mm heat pipes + 3x 6mm heat pipes (total 7 nickel-plated heat pipes), a copper base cooler that maximizes heat transfer directly on top of the GPU as well as an Integrated MOSFET heatsink. The top HoF logo lights up and is customizable (control blanking frequency, brightness with GFE).

The card has a dual BIOS simplifying the tweaking process by enabling relatively risk-free firmware updates and customization. It already is the fastest clocked card available for you though.
