NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Reference Photos Surface
Website videocardz leaked photo's of what seems to be the reference GeForce GTX 980. The boards looks great alright and follows the design of the GTX 780 series, this time with a very solid backplate.
The PCB photos show that the card is holding only 8 memory chips, has a 256-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface. The GeForce GTX 980 is based on NVIDIA's new GM204 silicon, a product based of the company's new "Maxwell" GPU architecture. The card has two 6-pin PCIe power connectors, and as you can see, a 4+1 phase VRM design.

I think that 4-5 VRM won't have much room by OC'ing at least stock versions, even if its "improved" like videocardz say..
Remember stock 570GTX VRM issues if Oc'ed too much? and this was a improved version of super tank 470GTX VRMs

570 was a terrible VRM design compared to the 470. My 470 could do OVER 1.3volts with zero issues at 1GHz core clock, a 400mhz OC from stock. Reports of 570s popping without voltage OC.
Phase count doesnt always have much bearing on quality.
Also take note that my titans 6 phases can handle over 500watts as well. Lets hope they've learned their lessons over time

Not bad looking. It's nice to see a backplate coming standard on this card.
