980 Classified / hall of fame / matrix / kingpin

 

If you're buying it to watercool yes, if not just get something cheaper, they'll all OC fairly the same on air.  Cards like this really start to shine above 1.3v with a custom loop.

Stuff:  i7 7700k @ (dat nibba succ) | ASRock Z170M OC Formula | G.Skill TridentZ 3600 c16 | EKWB 1080 @ 2100 mhz  |  Acer X34 Predator | R4 | EVGA 1000 P2 | 1080mm Radiator Custom Loop | HD800 + Audio-GD NFB-11 | 850 Evo 1TB | 840 Pro 256GB | 3TB WD Blue | 2TB Barracuda

The one that is actually two 970s. Seriously, it makes NO SENSE to buy a more expensive 980 with the promise of 20% more performance through oc when for the same price you could get 2 970s and 80% more performance out of the box.

 

@keycolony btw please follow your topics :)

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

The G1 is locked down to hell, even after modding the BIOS, it still has a 1.312v limit on it.

 

The kingpin/HOF/classified/matrix don't have that limitation, and they have much better power delivery.

better cooling capacity, you'll hit a temp wall before you hit the voltage wall on the classified, the ACX cooler is trash.

He said best OC capabilities, never mentioned anything about using the stock cooler.

 

Anyone buying a classified card, or a card of that tier really shouldn't be using anything other than exotic cooling methods IMO.
