I'm about to purchase 980Ti SLI and I need your help/oppinion.
MSI or G1?
This is very difficult decision to me.
What is your thought on this?

Great review Hilbert.
GM200 just leaves everything behind when overclocked 😀
I should have waited for MSI's aftermarket card to come out before jumping on the reference. There's always next time.

Hmm...
Go with MSI. I have heard lots of bad things about Gigabyte cards recently. I had bad luck with my MSI GTX 970 as it doesnt overclock _at all_, but I have found out to be alone with this. Gigabyte cards are known to have overclocking problems. As someone already explained, their software sucks. With MSI you also contribute in AfterBurner and its RivaTuner back-end, which is a good thing.

Really fell sorry for AMD fury X
Seems like AMD will lose even more DGPU shares.

Great review Hilbert!
Any chance of a 980Ti SLI review is in the pipeline or have I missed it on Guru3D ?
Would be nice to see what to expect 😀

comparing to G1 Gaming, MSI card is about 4-6% slower across all the tests. i wonder why that is. clock speed out of the box is almost identical (~1% difference). and also when both cards are OCed to almost identical speeds, MSI card is also slower. :3eyes:

I would wait for the KFA2/Galax 980ti HOF

Nice review. Its cards like this that pose the biggest problem for Fury X. Unless AMD and their board partners can come up with similarly juiced up cards, they will be left behind.
Just wondering Hilbert, arent the thermal imaging tests accuracy affected due to the back plate?

I'd buy that. The MSI cards I got are really great!

Awesome card, I would go for 2 of these if I didn't already own 2 MSI 970s 4G, which will last me until Pascal and whatever the name of the new GPUs will be next year.
GPU wise, MSI has started doing great in the last years, along with Afterburner it's a perfect combo. Motherboards are decent too, but imo they shine most in their GPU department.

Great review, MSI Gaming cards are awesome.
Hilbert, on page 11 in the first chart (Noise level IDLE in DBa) there's a typo, it says Radeon R9 370 ASUS STRIX (4GB) instead of MSI GTX 980Ti Gaming 6G OC.

Pretty sure this is my next card.
