GALAX Hall of Fame GTX 970 and 980 Released

GALAX announced the long awaited successors to the world renowned Hall of Fame lineage with the release of the GTX 980 HOF and GTX 970 HOF.  Following in the HOF tradition, each card is factory tuned with the highest core clock in its class.  

The true dominance of the GALAX HOF Series cards, however, lay in their completely unbridled potential for overclocking. Only the best of the best GeForce GPUs make the cut for HOF edition products, and GALAX has taken every possible step with their in-house designed white PCB, ultra-premium components and an incredible 7 heat-pipe triple fan cooler to ensure that overclockers’ skill and determination is the only thing standing between them and a new world record.

GALAX exclusive Hyper Boost technology acts like a hardware turbocharger, increasing the maximum power delivered to the GPU with the push of a button.  Dual BIOS further simplifies the tweaking process by enabling risk-free firmware updates and customization.

Love the white PCB and the Silver back plate. Would look pretty slick with an EK full cover block on top *hint hint*

It's first time I ever heard of "Galax" brand, as long as it is related to PC hardware. Is it affiliated to Galaxy, by any chance?

Those cards would go nicely with the Asus X99 Deluxe boards I guess.
