The highly overclocked 980 is on the hells of the titan X .
A single titan X is such a bad idea lol . You can almost get two 980s for that price.

Too much random etching on the front of the cooler for my tastes. It bet it stays very frosty though.

:o holy bejeepiespantsonfire*! Dat heatsink doe....dayum.
Love the look of it, looks sick. Too bad they didn't do the same as EVGA did with the K|NGPIN card and put all of the IO on one slot.

So its just a different colour scheme? You'd think it would be something totally different, with significantly beefed up cooling.

Awesome performance, although I'd go Titan X still for the best single GPu solution all round.

I've far too often had issues with multi-gpus and game support. Although to each his own though.

Nvidia doesnt allow non reference coolers on the Titan X mate.

They should just sell the cooler not the whole cooler like gigabyte did with the titan m8

SNIP

yes, a Hugely overclocked 980 is on the heels of a stock TitanX in 1 game..

An overclocked (not even pushed that far) 970 is as fast as a stock 980 and is about the same % of it as a 980 to titan is...

Or a 295x2 is faster and costs way less...

I don'T PreSS caPs.. I juST Hit THe keYboARd so HarD iT CriTs :P

It looks like there's one extra port on the back compared to the HOF card. Still sexy AF tho.

is this, is this a triple slot?

that heat sink seems to take in a 3rd slot, altough there are only 2 slots for connectors

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

He should have designed a custom cooler for the Titan X, we already have tons of custom 980s

They are not allowed to, Nvidia is the only one who is allowed to make them. Board partners just sell them and deal with warranty that's it.

Already said that, not wanting a custom PCB or something, just the cooler to mount on the card itself, like Gigabyte did with the first titan
