MSI GeForce GTX 980 Gaming OC review 5

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 10/02/2014 01:08 PM [ 32 comment(s) ]

In this review we test the MSI GeForce GTX 980 Gaming OC edition graphics card. It is the big brother of the GTX 970 Gaming OC edition we tested last week. Armed with some more performance this model comes with that new TwinFrozr V cooler. The GM204-400 chip is plastered onto a custom PCB. The card comes factory clocked faster as as well at a 1216 MHz base /1317 MHz boost clock frequency. The card has 4 GB graphics memory, is energy efficient and factory overclocked for you. You will be surprised by how this card looks, how silent it is, how well it performs and how much it can be overclocked.

And again, the MSI looks like a good card to go, with headroom for overclocking, as well as pleasent sound and temperature levels. Reminds me of back then when I went for the MSI with my 580 :rolleyes:

Thanks for the review Hilbert!

FLIR looks a lot better than on the 970. Nice review.

FLIR imaging added to overclock page as well.

BTW after reading some comments, I checked out the fan and coil-noise notifications that we have heard from in the past few days. I can not replicate either one of them. This product is drop-dead silent.

Guys, maybe I'm missing something, if games like Shadow Of Mordor need 6GB VRAM to play @ Ultra settings, are cards like this not DOA?

Thoses 980 remind more and more the Cypress HD5870 ...( or even 4870 at this time ).
