ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Ti STRIX Graphics Card Is Now Available
And our review was just finished, it'll go live early next week. Powered by the latest GeForce GTX 980 Ti GPUs, Strix GTX 980 Ti features GPU boost clock speeds of up to 1291 MHz in gaming mode and 1317 MHz in OC mode.
It is packed with exclusive ASUS technologies, including DirectCU III with a patented triple wing-blade 0dB fan designed to deliver maximum airflow for 30%-cooler and three times (3X) quieter performance.
Strix GTX 980 Ti also has ASUS Auto-Extreme technology with Super Alloy Power II components for premium quality and reliability, plus GPU Tweak II with XSplit Gamecaster for intuitive performance tweaking and instant gameplay streaming.
Cool, silent gameplay: DirectCU III with triple wing-blade 0dB fan design
Strix GTX 980 Ti is equipped with ASUS-exclusive DirectCU III cooling technology, which features two exclusive 10mm direct-GPU-contact heat pipes - outperforming reference designs for gaming performance that's up to 30% cooler. It has three fans engineered with a patented, new wing-blade design that delivers maximum airflow and static pressure over the heat sink - giving a 105% improvement over fans without wing-blades. This exclusive triple wing-blade design operates at noise levels three times (3X) quieter than reference cards, making DirectCU III the coolest and quietest graphics card-cooling solution available to date. Strix GTX 980 Ti also features 0dB fan technology, which stops fan rotation completely during lighter gaming sessions - eliminating noise for undisturbed gameplay.
Premium quality and reliability: Auto-Extreme technology with Super Alloy Power II components
Strix GTX 980 Ti benefits from ASUS-exclusive Auto-Extreme technology, the industry's first 100%-automated manufacturing process that removes human fallibility from the production line for consistent perfection - making it ultra-reliable in all scenarios, from general everyday use to hardcore gaming and overclocking. Auto-Extreme technology eliminates flux to minimize dust buildup and oxidization, and makes the rear side of the graphics card's printed-circuit board totally smooth, increasing comfort for system-builders and enhancing overclocking capability by freeing space to add POSCAP capacitors. This new manufacturing process is also environmentally friendly, eliminating harsh chemicals and reducing power consumption by 50%.
Strix GTX 980 Ti features Super Alloy Power II components that enhance efficiency, reduce power loss, decrease buzzing under load, and lower thermal dynamics for unsurpassed quality and reliability. Strix GTX 980 Ti features a superior 12+2-phase power design compared to reference cards built with 8+2-phase power designs.
Complementing its amazing reliability, Strix GTX 980 Ti is built to be incredibly tough. It comes with a GPU-fortifier and strengthened backplate that provides superior GPU protection and also prevents the PCB bending over time.
Tweakable and intuitive: GPU Tweak II with XSplit Gamecaster
Redesigned with an intuitive, all-new user interface, GPU Tweak II makes gaming and overclocking easier and more visual than ever, while still retaining advanced options for seasoned overclockers. With one click, the new Gaming Booster function maximizes system performance by removing redundant processes and allocating all available resources automatically. An included 1-year XSplit Gamecaster premium license - a $99 value - lets gamers easily stream or record gameplay via a convenient, in-game overlay.
The final must-have flourish for Strix GTX 980 Ti is the Strix LED that lends a style statement to any system, with pulsating light effects.
Availability
ASUS Strix GTX 980 Ti will be available worldwide from July 2015.

Review should be very similar to the Zotac, not even a 2% margin if you ask me

I would rather see a benchmark on the KFA2 Geforce GTX 980 ti HOF if you ask me..
Maybe not known by many but is worth a look.

You sir are correct, I pre-ordered one, ETA is the 14th.. As you can see in my signature I am a fan of the Galax/KFA2 brand. They really shouldn't be overlooked by the public, have owned 3 of them and they never disappoint. This 980 that I have has an Asic of 77%

Yes Yes YES!!!
It would be great to have some comparison between drivers and 780 / 780ti performance in games.
I have 780 and it really feels like the card is actually performing lower than before.

Have been waiting for the strix, and I will get this card if it is not anything terribly disappointing about it, which i will get confirmed after Hilberts review.
From what I'v seen so far it looks like the potentially best of the 980 Ti's for me with 0db fan when idle or low load is going to be really swell in my current low noise fractal design build.
And really interested to see how this cards compare to others when it comes to overclocking, so don't forget to squeeze overclock Hilbert!

Most of the AIB 980 Ti's are 0db idle mode.

This might tempt me to abandon putting in my spare 780 and going SLI! Was liking Palit cards but their SJS 980Ti has no memory overclock which my Palit SJS 780 does have, now the strix has both GPU/MEM factory overclocked only the price has put me off, overclockers have them listed at £660, crazy crazy prices!!

Always seen Asus with dual fan designs. This one a tri-fan. Guru3d has probably done the most 980ti reviews of an site out there.. awesome! Some major sites only do the ref card at release then stop there.

I just bought EVGA sc+ with backplate, which in some benches beat titan X. Will see how will this card do.

I saw the review of this card on the other website. Temperatures on the card are really dissapointing with that Direct CU III cooling. I'm waiting for Guru3d review of this card, since they seems to be most reliable.
Here's the link if anyone is interested.

Wow, I'm really looking forward to the review of this card, and how it compares to the MSI card, especially noise-wise.
