KFA2 GeForce GTX 980 Ti HOF Review -
Product Showcase
The GeForce GTX 980 Ti HOF takes advantage of Maxwell architecture with its GM200 based GPU, it has 8 billion transistors, 2,816 active shader processor cores, and 6 GB of GDDR5, it’s quite a powerful product. In Ultra HD it can advance up-to 30% in performance over the GeForce GTX 980.
The GPU empowering the product is called the A1 revision of the GM200 GPU, which is based on Maxwell architecture, but we'll talk a little more about Maxwell in the tech deep-dive on the next few pages. The GTX 980 Ti has a lovely 2,816 CUDA/Shader/Stream cores. For those that wonder, the board is equipped with Hynix memory ICs. At the rear of the card you can spot the two 8-pin power headers. The card is SLI compatible up-to 4-way SLI. Our generic advice is to stick to two cards maximum for the best compatibility, scaling and experience.
GeForce GTX 980 Ti in its reference design will offer five display connectors; KFA2 offers five as well. This does come at a cost (less exhaust ventilation). Most heat will be dumped inside the PC, good chassis ventilation as such is a must.
3 x DisplayPort
1 x HDMI
1 x Dual-Link DVI
The display engine is capable of supporting the latest high resolution displays, including the all new 4K and 5K screens. And with HDMI 2.0 support, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti can even be used by gamers who want to game on the newest state-of-the-art big screen Ultra HD TVs (myself included). BTW the big button is to activate extra airflow.
Once the card is active the logo on top is LED enabled, overall the design is just terrific from an aesthetic point of view really.
