Review: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti G1 Gaming SOC Edition
We review the custom GeForce GTX 980 Ti, the G1 Gaming SOC edition from Gigabyte. This graphics card is a power-house, where the reference cards run at 1 GHz, in Gigabyte's OC modus, this puppy will default towards 1241 MHz on the base-clock and 1291 MHz on the Boost clock. Meanwhile the 600 Watt Windforce cooler makes sure that the fans remain disabled when the GPU is under a set temperature or at light load. On top of it you will spot a multi-color Illuminated LED LOGO design, you can pick the color of your preference.
Check out the full review right here.

Hilbert there's a error one page 2 that you should correct because it will confuse people.
Here's the wwrong text: Yup, we'll be testing the OC mode alright, and holy momma that is a grand tweak straight out of the box alright! The memory has been kept reference at 7.0 GHz (effective data-rate) on its 256-bit wide memory bus of 4GB GDDR5 memory.
Obviously it's a 384- bit wide bus of 6GB GDDR5 memory, it's not a GTX 980
Otherwise great review

Sounds like the OC isn't 100% stable.
It sometimes takes a while for the OC to wreak havoc.
All it needs is for there to be a "hiccup" at one point, and thats it.
So far my 290 on water has virtually no headroom. +100/+100 core/mem.
still playing with the OC occassionally.
On Topic : This is one beast of a card !
Thoroughly beating a Titan X is no small feat.
I've tried to narrow down the problem but I haven't had much luck. It's not the temps or the power/temp limit and it happens with and without extra voltage. The only thing I can think of that I haven't tried is forcing voltage or tweaking the BIOS voltage settings and I don't think either of those are worth the 10% I'd gain. Gigabyte wanted me to RMA the card but I'm not going to bother unless I have trouble with my new monitor arriving today. On past cards I was able to squeeze 20 - 30% out of them. Maybe I'm expecting too much from an already OC'd card but, at least I can squeeze a little more than 10% core and +500 on memory
.
Knowing the x80ti cards are around the corner after a Titan release I have to wonder why some people buy a Titan.

When it comes to DSR, does anybody else think that the 2880x1620 resolution (with 25% DSR smoothness) is simply awesome?
I swear it's the sweet spot for my 970SLI setup in every game out there, looks almost as good as 4K, but also allows for some nice AA.
It would be the best resolution for an almost guaranteed 60fps in every game at max settings for the 980TI and adding a second one would allow for full 4K.
If you haven't tried 1620p, you should.
