Join us in a review on the GeForce GTX 980 Matrix Platinum, yes ASUS is back in da house with a Republic Of Gamers product. This product has been designed for the true aficionados that sub-zero cool the product in order to shatter a benchmark or two. For the more regular folks there's still plenty off changes making this product super nice. It has a custom cooler, a custom PCB, quality components and a factory overclock, all that whilst staying silent. The card has 4 GB graphics memory, is energy efficient and factory overclocked for you. Oh and hey, it overclocks nicely as well to roughly 1500 MHz on the GPU boost frequency.

There is a typo on the first page when you say : ''with temps reaching a maximum of just under 0 Degrees C with nice low noise levels.''

As always, awesome review and a very nice video card.

Yeah, I wondered about watercooled cards too, since it looks to have a 14 phase power design.

I am curious on some of these high end cards why they still provide those nasty molex/pcie connectors. If this is catered for the enthusiast market then surely we have a PSU that does not require use of those accessories.

And if a casual/new to gaming person were to purchase the card, then I would think said person would also know a good quality PSU is required.

That being said, I like the potential on this card. Although it would look wonderful in black rather than the common red as I now see it.

all its missing is 384 bit bandwidth. surprised there isn't a 384 version of the 980 cards. no reason to upgrade your 780's to 980's

glad my EVGA GTX 780tiSC is still keeping up with the 9xx series. I look forward to seeing this frozen and clocked to the gills and where it lands then.
