I Love this card so much, I take it out of my case every night, and put it to sleep with the little pillow and blanket for it.
GTX980 SC ACX 2.0 for life!
Are you trying to kill it with static? You madman!
What color is the pillow?
Velvet red. Only the best for my card.
Hmm, My MSI 980 and my cat seem to be trying to start a relationship. Lets see where this goes...
Cassidy Lush sounds like an adventure for sure!
And I'm sitting here with my 7870...
lol me too :D
xfx?
Uh I was just considering ATI on board graphics...
The Illuminati That is a big leap.
henk jan Gigabyte actually
Now all loads of people are doing videos in 60fps, 30 looks really choppy :(
this is 24.
Tek Syndicate No, this is Patrick!
*****
haha, that one made me giggle! :D
I bought this exact same card about 2 weeks ago. I love it. I can keep the fans spinning at just 5%, which keeps it at under 30 degrees idle. Really sleek and refined looks too, not as "edgy" as the other 980s
I have 290x toxic in 2 way crossfire since Feb 2014 and i think it will stay for a year more at least.. My friend ordered 980 omega extreme i guess so would be nice to see that competing in front of me. Anyways looking for SLI video.... Great video as always..
Good video, I like how you emphasise on 1440p as that seems a much more reasonable resolution for gaming atm then 4k. Too bad a lot of benchmarks you can find go 1080p and then 4k ... *coughlinuscough*
Im currently playing on 1440p using a 780ti SC. My best cooler experience was with the twinfrozr series tho
i would love to see comparisons between the strix cards and other brands to see if their over manufactured cards really make a difference. i have always bough evga but recently with all the hype for the strix cards i'm tempted to switch.
Its the guy from tigerdirect! I saw a video of him on a 9800 gx2 geforce card from like 7 years ago and was wondering what this guy was up to lol
Got this exact card a couple of weeks ago, along with a 4790k (upgraded from 1100t and 6970). So far it seems like it was worth it. I love GTA 4 with a bunch of mods and ENBs never droping below 60. My old rig wouldn't even break 30. Its a solid card. The passive cooling when not pushing it was what sold it for me tbh. GG evga.
Great job as always, I can't wait for you're next video.
Keep up the good work guys.
My 980 is in the mail, went for the MSI version. Just heard that one's having what seems to be firmware-related issues with the fans -I'll see how it goes.
Just bought the 970 version of these. Comes on tuesday. Very excited to finally step up from my 5 year old 250.
Just got mine in the mail. Absolutely love it! :D
trash
3:20 Those are Strix cards, then at 3:25 it changes to the EVGA ACX cards. Just thought I'd point it out.
i literally search this then hit back and saw you posted this an hour ago. Nice timing!
Just bought one of these and I freakin love it. I've been using a ATI 5770,its nice to be able to play games in high settings from the last 5 years
Nice vid. Would you mind adding the titles of the benchmarked games in the video? Its sometimes hard to understand all of them.
Best explanation for downsampling (dynamic super resolution) is that it's the crudest, most-direct form of AA. Looks the best, and is the most taxing form.
ACX 2.0... Looks EXACTLY like the models from last year, you know, those models that 80% makes noise at a certain speed.. A noise that the guarantee does not cover... This is my 2nd EVGA buy and the last one.
Uh, my 970 (ACX 2.0) makes no noise at all, and is much cooler than older ACX designs. You might be thinking about the original ACX design, this is 2.0.
***** Give it 6 months.
Yeah, I'm sure the ACX 2.0 is exactly the same as the 1.0... even though it's the fan is different entirely.... and it's a different version.......
Tek Syndicate Give it 6 months.
Poo-P Wong You just like to hate things don't you? Lol I can already tell it's a much better design and much stronger.
Something to note about DSR, it can be used with a 144hz monitor to play at 144hz and still record 4k.
Great review and benchmarks - thank you for sharing. I am waiting for mine right now and will be using in 1080p on a 24" Asus monitor with 144Hz.
I have a friend with the Windoforce Cooler and it's quite nice. I, personally, like the ACX's aesthetics enough to go with that one just based off of looks.
I previously I've used Gigabyte Windforce 780Ti and build quality combined with reflashing issues AND the fact that my NEC and EIZO went berserk with strange frequency changes during high loads, made me rethink next card's branding. This 980 by Evga looks promising :)
i've had crossfire 6950's since forever, i just ordered a superclocked gtx 980 a few days ago from EVGA with the referance cooler and i'm so excited, i have the Qnix Evo II and it's OC'd and i can't wait to see what i can get out of the 980
Dont have a 980 but got a evga 970 ftw acx 2.0 arriving Friday afternoon cant wait to play my games at smooth 60fps+ ultra settings. :D
I have the exact same one and love it. I'm a little salty that frames aren't that much higher in some games as I was expecting but then again I'm pretty sure that will change when the drivers mature a little bit. Nevertheless, I don't see myself upgrading for a little while as I'm mainly just gonna be gaming at 1080p.
I happen to have one of these ready for a build I'm putting together. Seems that this video should give me some confidence on its performance.
Nicely done. What camera were you using to film this in 4K?
Dope. So these benchmarks were not SLI correct? Just double checking because im purchasing one soon ;) thanks for the awesome video with the "bad ending"
I have a reference gtx 980, my first reference card, since my ,ati 5850 in 2009 i was a little sceptical at first about the cooling but i got an offer i couldn't refuse, I've had a lot of different cooler designs meny with 2 or 3 fans but even the reference 980 keeps pretty cool as loong as u have some good airflow, and it does look awesome too
I just built my new system with one of these cards and a H100 cooler. I LOVE IT! It runs everything I throw at it smooth as butter.
As an European I like how you tell the dimensions in millimeters and inches!Thank you!!
In everyone's opinion, what is the BEST graphics card for a graphics-design artist, who works mainly in CorelDraw, and what type of IPS monitor would you recommend as well?
I thing nvidia makes tesla and quadro cards for artists try looking into them
graphic artist that uses corel? *sigh* Jump to illustrator and fast bro.
giannis stathopoulos
He uses multiple editing programs...
CorelDraw, Photoshop, and Illustrator
I have this card. It kicks ass and I used the DSR to play Bioshock at 5K on my 1440p monitor
I just built my first PC with this graphics card in it. Runs everything on ultra smooth at 1080. I just ordered a 1440 monitor so I'll see how it does on there as well
So what are the external connectors on that card? Which one was your monitor plugged into?
For those wondering the first "game" isn't actually a game. It's a benchmark called "Valley" apparently.
Shoulda got a strix. Mine kicks ass.
Tek Syndicate Are most of the cards you guys get purchased or sent for review by the companies?
Would be interested to see this in comparison to the stock clocks.
Nice shirt Logan!
I love mine. Card is a total beast and it smashes anything not Ubisoft! lol Even then it fairs quite well. Mostly love how quiet it is all the time. Great stuff!
Is a Corsair RM750 adequate to run a pair of 970s?
I'm running one at the moment and I'm wondering if it's reasonable to get another any time soon. I'll put some additional details down below.
i5-4690k
Corsair H100i closed loop cooler.
Asrock extreme 6 mobo
7 fans: 3x 140mm, 4x 120mm
PCIE x1 wifi card.
4 sticks of DDR3
2 HDDs and 1 SSD. Probably going to add one more of each eventually.
Eh probably. As long as you're not overclocking anything and NOT running both the cpu AND video cards ( at the same time) under maxed load, you should be fine.
You should be fine with the RM750, unless you intend to overclock mobo
Raymond Tyson
So I would need to upgrade the PSU to get the most out of the system, but I can do that a bit later?
I guess that's not the worst thing ever since it will be a while before I have any use for the overclocking performance.
sounds exactly like my Asus Strix GTX 980, just not clocked as fast. Almost bought this card since the STRIX were so hard to come by, no one had the cards in stock, until a couple weeks ago.
my fav cooler would have to be twin frozr or maybe strix, though the acx2 does seem really good
site says it only pulls 190watt at max power..... so 350 must be for SLI..
Hello, Big fan of your channel. I have a question of performance and value. I recently built a system using the evga gtx 770 sc, and I am left wanting a little more. I have the opportunity to buy locally, second-hand, either another evga gtx 770 sc for SLI configuration (requiring a power supply upgrade as well) for $300 roughly, or a single evga gtx 980 acx for $500, replacing my current single 770. Which will give me better performance, the twin gtx770's in SLI, or the single gtx 980 acx 2.0? Which would be better on my thinning wallet?
Though I am not tek syndicate, I would get one 980 because the performance is the same and if you have a low watt psu rating you won't have to upgrade because the gtx 980 consumes less power than 770.
I'm totally getting one of these... awesome!!!
I've got a GTX 970 superclocked with the ACX 2.0.
Really nice card, especially with DSR at higher resolutions.
Stays really cool. I got a good OC'er, I've been able to hit 1550mhz on the core clock, which should catch me up to one of your cards Tek Syndicate :P
If you OC these please tell us what you get. Though I highly doubt you'll need to. Having two is pretty beasty.
Can you include test data for newly released AAA games? Testing old games like bioshock infinite doesn't really say much. Maybe adding Assasin's Creed Unity to the rotation would help. The game has it's flaws but it still looks and plays well. It's also very taxing on old cards.
Would you recommend getting SC version for playing games (Call of duty advanced warfare mainly) or would the non SC version work?
What game was being displayed at 4:11? I can't understand what he is saying, it looks fun
Love the Asus Strix on the test bench.....
I upgraded from two 680's. I'm have been using 2 of these (water cooled) for about a month and love them performance wise. I don't think I will keep them as long as my 680's (2 yrs) because of the 4GB's of VRAM. I really wish these cards would have had at least 6GB of VRAM.
Hey Logan. Why not check out the evga gtx 970 ftw edition with the acx 2.0 coolers? They perfom very very good. And i think they deserve a review!
It would be cool to see a very small form factor build guide.
I put two of these in an X99 Deluxe build with an overclocked 5820K as a VR and flight sims rig. It will eat normal games alive but when it comes to flight sims and VR, there's still plenty these cards can't do. True, with sims they don't use the GPU's much, and in VR you need SILLY frame rates and most software is still early / unoptimised, but hopefully things are maturing with VR and we will see what the 980's can do, especially if NVidia sorts out VR-SLI as they have been promising.
Just need to treat myself to a new monitor or three. Was thinking about the ASUS ROG Swift but ASUS seem to be struggling with quality lately. Lots of complaints about the swift. Will get ironed out I expect, but on top of the other early adoption woes I have been having, I am steering away from the 144Hz beast for now.
250percent lower fan power consumption doesnt make sense, it would give 150% back to the card, which isnt possible...
I'm using a GTX 980 from MSI with the Twin Frozr V fans. very quiet, only 39 DB noise and 62c max on temperatures :)
So I just got one of these cards because well it's about $550, so would I get result like the ones in your benchmark or was that an estimate with the two? (keep in mind I'm not a tech guru and did days of research before getting my car haha).
85 in Valley @ 1080p with 780Ti :D why 900 series suck balls so much in those Unigine Benchmarks?
memory bandwidth issues maybe?
Does it really matter? 980 still beats the 780ti in game benchmarks
Federico Rojas In Some Games..A Lot..780Ti Beat Up 980..And Most Benchmark That Beat Up 780Ti Is Using SLi..Can U Imagine If 780Ti In SLi?? And The Difference So Small Between Both
Abu Hasifm What? 980 beats the 780ti at stock and overclocked. Period. Because of lower power consumption, better stability, higher clock speeds, third delta color compression, etc. A maxwell core is 1.4x faster than a kepler core. Just watch the benchmarks and see for yourself.
Federico Rojas lol get a Kingpin on Water and 980 is done
I can see you in a monitor and you in a monitor on the monitor. WE MUST GO DEEPER!
I got this card last week. I tried to play FarCry 4 on my 2 560TI OC in SLI and the game would hardly run at medium settings. I got just one 980GTX SC and.. Wow the performance probably tripled if not more.. I now play on Ultra settings and the game plays as smooth as eggs.. CPU I7 2600K, 1155 Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z z68 mobo, 8gig DDR3 1600. Not bad for a rig coming up on 3 years old.
What I found funny, where i ordered the GPU online. This card is/was 560 bucks.. Then I look right under it, there is the regular EVGA 980GTX with the stock G-force single squirrel fanned heat sink.. It was 630 dollar's at the time of my purchase last week and was recently dropped to 609 dollars a day ago! Who the hell does there marketing? lol.... Obvious choice, worth every penny!
Please logan make a review of your TITAN Z! would love to see a in depth review from a person who owns one!
This is like the reference design right? You can fit reference design Gpu blocks on this gpu?
Hey Tek, I subscribed, very informative video, thank you. I have a question.
I'm thinking about getting this card, or its super-steroid-juiced younger brother the 980Ti. I'm on a budget, and was wondering if this card is enough or should I go the extra mile?
Should I just settle on a GTX 980 EVGA Superclocked, or get a GTX 980Ti 6GB EVGA Superclocked?
+HowToDoge Which one did you buy in the end? :)
MiLC0REHD AMD card, but got my case colder than a freezer (almost).
+HowToDoge I'm sorry for your loss
Dylan F My card reaches about the same benchmarks as a standard 980. I'm good.
I know I'm way late but how could you think that the 980 TI is the 980s younger brother. The 980 TI is practically a Titan x (2015) just cut down a bit.
Were these benchmarks for the single card or your SLI config?
i love the awkward endings on Logan's videos :D
Review the new GTX 970 miniITX cards please... See how they perform and compare with full sized cards
Just picked up TWO of these EPeen enhancers, and I am SO foaming at the mouth to get them.. Theyll be joining my new 4930k, to enhance my current rig(which barely needs enhancing) of a 3930k and dual 780s. But actually, at 1440p, the intense games are showing some slowdowns here and there. And why would I turn down to less AA, when I drop $1500 on barely needed hardware? Amiright?
From looking at other tech news sites (Tech of Tomorrow for instance), the benchmark charts show min/average/max FPS, can you include these on the graph going forward? I think the min is very telling, as frame studder drives me nuts.
0:57 Only 2x6pin PCI-E power cables (75w eatch+75w from PCI-E lane=225w of provided power for the GPU)
1:54 Logan says 315-320w. How can a card use more power than it is provided with!?!?
So the 300w+ is only for the GPU?
How much does the 970 consume, with the same cooler and some overclock from EVGA?
I got two MSI GTX 970 gaming cards, some games run well with SLI i've noticed allot of games dont... made this pc to future proof myself seeing as i was running an amd 4850 card and an i7 920 on the first p6t deluxe motherboard from asus before.
I feel like i notice things ALLOT more, like fps drops in some games just randomly dip below 20 frames while normally running steady at 100+ and all that kind of stuff
Maybe its because i'm used to running new games at low quality presets or something i dont know, DA inq has some weird square textures popping up in snowy and desert areas and farcry 4 while flying fps drops a ton and at night shadows quadruple.
Dont know what you guys think about all that stuff but otherwise i'm pretty happy with my new pc and i hope it can last me 5+ years like the old one did.
( btw would you go for a 24-27 inch 1080P 144Hz G-sync monitor or a 27 inch 1440 ips monitor, i mostly play adventure games and rpg's and sometimes casually play CS:GO and Bf4 )
Would it be worth upgrading from a GTX 770 EVGA SuperClocked to this?
(And by this I mean the GTX 980 SuperClocked WITHOUT ACX, just the basic SuperClocked version.)
just got one of these, and i love it.
I play the crew at amost max settings. Gta V and almost ultra. Plus I use a 2560:1080 ultrawide. Needless to say she's beautiful
If you want specifics just message me on google+ or I can give you my skype
Which drivers should i use for the 980 super clocked?
Just the regular GeForce GTX 980?
Love the new benchmarking games.
On my build deciding whether to get the EVGA or ASUS GTX 980 0.o
Im a beginner when it comes to computers so im still learning but supposedly this card can support up to for monitors..? How can you hook up for monitors to it when it only has 1 monitor slot? Thanks!
whats the power phase on this board? 4+1? same as founders or higher? I see FTW is 6+2. Can't find power phase specs for this card?
Hey Tek, what is your take on theis GTX 980 running with a I7-5820K?
Silly question but.. should I buy a single GTX 980 or SLI GTX 970s? I've read about something called microstuttering but I'm not too sure on it. This is for whenever I build my own gaming PC in the future.
For anyone who has a GTX 970 is it bad or any equivalent graphics cards is it bad to run the fan at a low speed constantly or should you use your fans in high temperatures?
EVGA is always my favorite for graphics cards, they have never been bad for me
3:13 Those arent 980s.. They have 2 DVI ports
I noticed this also.
Now I don't have too much knowledge about PC's but what's better. The EVGA gtx 980 sc or the MSI gtx 980?
If it wasn't clear (because it's not) - the benchmarks were ONE card (even though you see him setup an SLI config), toward the end he says SLI benchmarks coming later.
I'm running the asus 970 strix. Awesome card. 349 bucks and it came with far cry 4. No complaints here.
Hello can you tell me what you think about my future set up? what can I improve or will it work.
I'm planning to run 3 BenQ XL2730Z 144Hz 1ms 27 inch Gaming Monitors (2560x1440)
with this next setup:
-Intel® Core™ i7-4790K 4.0 GHz
-MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition
-8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory (G.SKILL Ripjaws X)
-EVGA ACX 2.0 Superclocked NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card (Maxwell) (Single Card)
-240GB HyperX Predator PCIe Gen2 x4 (HHHL)SSD - 1400MB/s Read & 600MB/s Write
-1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
will this set up be able to support the 3 monitors or should a get a different graphics card? 2 gtx 980 ti? or something like that
I would appreciate the opinion or anyone.
Thanks
+Kevin hall
pls buy 3 ASUS PG278q 27" monitors, because they can deliver you the G-sync technology.
It works perfect with nVidia Cards.
Benq monitors have "Free-Sync " technology
works only with Video Cards from AMD.
Can you guys do the 970 version? :D
To all the people talking about how much higher the temps are under load for the EVGA cards compared to other brands is because the heat sink isn't making contact with the gpu. I have heard its a problem affecting their 900 series cards.
im pretty sure they fixed that issue on their ACX 2.0s
I see you have 2 of them, is that necessary or would one of them suffice?
im happy with my 2 r9 290`s with ek fullcover watercooling no point of upgrading yet :)
Love my sapphire tri-x r9 290! Idles at 33 ° C
Thoughts on this setup
Processor: i7 4790k
Motherboard: Asus maximus vii hero
Cpu cooler: Corsair h100i
Memory: Corsair vengeance pro 16gb
Hard drives: 240gb ssd intel 730 series
2tb western digital black
Video card: Evga gtx 980 sc acx 2.0
Case: Corsair 760t
Psu: Evga supernova 750w 80+ gold
So wait were those benchmarks on a single card or with SLI?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the lack of a back plate make these cards sag?
will this card work with a 750W psu ? with a i7 4790k
EUD Corvus Yes I have a 900 watt psu and it works great, Just don't sli these and you are golden.
still rockin intergrated intel hd graphics. i can run most of the new games on low and im satisfied
Haha I might upgrade
