Is this 980 Ti Good?

For fuck sake...

Hasn't this question been beaten to death a bazillion times over?

Unless on ln2 it will make literally 0 difference for overclocking (almost all gm200s are a lock for 1500 and almost all can't reach 1530 even kingpins and lightnings).

Yes the card is good. Yes the cooler is stupid overbuilt. It's also freaking massive and would make sli a total bitch (this goes for the lightning and the zotac amp extreme)

Literally none of the premium models are worth it for the 980ti unless you have epeen issues. Or unless you really really want water cooling (cause that actually does have a place, esp in sli builds and that's basically only the hybrid.)

Come on people.

I have a freaking 68% ASIC quality (that's awful for a 980ti btw) msi card and yet with stock bios my overclock boosts to 1507/1514 with mem sitting at 8k (and memory overclocking really doesn't give basically anything until ln2 anyways).

I agree with you to an extent, most GM200's can push 1500. But there are those that can't; those rare chips that just suck. If it's up to the person wanting to pay a premium to guarantee they get a chip that at least overclocks to the average, then I say more power to them.

But the Lightning and Kingpin cards are really not worth the extra unless you plan to Ln2 cool them.

a 980 ti is like a bj or pizza, even when it's not the best it's still awesome..

but to answer your question yes, the msi lightning is msi's best card...

It's on kingpin and HoF level

Pretty accurate comparison.

Hi Friends,

 

NVIDIA GTX 980Ti is a monster graphics card. For 1080p gaming, this card is too strong. But anyone wants to play games at 4K then should go for this. 4GB or 6GB versions are the options. I love this card from the day I saw it, but it is expensive.

980Ti only comes with 6GB of VRAM. There is no 4GB version.

Yes, you are correct 980Ti comes with 6GB VRAM.

For 4K gaming, one needs 4GB and more amount of VRAM.

Thanks for correcting me.
