Cool high-end card with extreme overclocking!

ASUS GeForce GTX 980 4096MB GDDR5 256bit STRIX PCI (Accessories)

Customer Review

I unpacked the graphics card at Christmas and easily installed, installs new driver and off we went.
Since I am an avid overclocker, I have first occupied myself with the possible overclocking and have achieved thanks 3DMark stable and cool for the overclocking result. Factory overclocking is 1279 MHz (Boost Clock) and 7010 MHz (memory clock).
I squeezed the maximum out of the map and with Asus GPU Tweak to 1400 MHz (Boost Clock) and 8010 MHz (memory clock) placed with a max. Temperature at full load of 76 ° C.

The card is very high quality and is the factory default setting and quiet, but with my extreme overclocking he turns naturally at full load but a little louder on, but me it bothers not there at all in my opinion, as good as any of anschafft so a card headset owns and thus the volume of the graphics card does not really matter.
It has 1x HDMI, 3x DisplayPort, 1x DVI connections.

Now we come to the most important part, the pay games and FPS.

Since most FPS plays a very large role for most, eg for 144hz monitors I give here even my experiences from.
Far Cry 4 - FullHD Ultra settings with 4x TXAA I came to an average of 60 FPS, sounds lean on but for a game from Ubisoft with poor performance is very good.

AC Unity - Unity Jaja what can you say. FullHD Ultra Settings with TXAA average 40-50 FPS, also lean result but as I said Ubisoft is to blame and has been since they are afraid of a lawsuit on patching.

Battlefield 4 - FullHD Ultra Settings between 120 FPS and 160 FPS, am not so sure as it is based on BF4 Map.

The Forest - FullHD Ultra Settings average of 70 FPS (still in the Early Access).

Recon AW - Although I'm absolutely no Batman fan but I have tested it and came up with FullHD Ultra Settings and supersampling 2x on permanent 91 FPS (higher supersampling values ​​are not playable and bullshit!)

The temperature never went above 76 ° C while playing a very good result for Max. Overclocked graphics card with air cooling. (The card may to Nvidia's specifications max. 98 ° C have then it is automatically clocked down.)

. My general system in case anyone still interested:

Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.4 GHz

Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LX2

RAM: Kingston HyperX PC3-12800 8GB @ 2000 MHz

PSU: be quiet! CM BQT E9-CM Straight Power (580 watts)

Thank you for taking the time and I hope I could offer them useful information.
