ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Strix review





Hot on the heels of the ASUS GTX 970 Strix review, we test the ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Strix. Armed with that h00t of a cooler, a custom PCB, quality components and a factory overclock this product is bound to perform, whilst staying very silent. Heck, the DirectCU II based cooler won't even spin with GPU temperatures up-to roughly 67 Degrees C. The card has 4 GB graphics memory, is energy efficient and factory overclocked for you. Oh and hey, it overclocks nicely as well to almost 1500 MHz on the GPU boost frequency.

Looking at the benchmarks, sometimes the 980 is not even 10fps faster than a 970....

Great review, as always.
A question. The backplate help to reduce heat?, it's because in the pics i see that just "hide" the heat.
Thanks!

Thanks for the review, the Strix cooler is nice but I'm liking MSI this time around for cards.
