i find it very strange that the 980ti acx 2.0+ sc for some reason is unable to maintain 1500mhz boost , my 970 g1 in 3d mark is constant stable at 1500mhz boost but ur top of the line gpu just can not -
 
i have tried all options in after burner , kept the core at 170 / maxed out the votlage setings / power limit to max etc - the frequency keeps on jumping from 1488 / 1433 to 1455 on its own .
 
only some times in valley benchmark it touched 1502 mhz then again jumps every where below this / temps dont cross 75c  , i have 4 gpus in quad sli and checked each gpu on its own / none of them manage to keep 1500mhz boost . which is very strange .
 
asic values are all above 75% , it seems odd that it wont do it .
 
Evga precesion x latest version crashes in windows 10 , and if you try to enable kboost it some how the nvidia drivers are some how uninstalled as it says no hardware found and i have to manually again load up the drivers
 
 

Hi i got the same card, and got the same results , on 3D Mark i can go +170 on GPU Clock and +500 on memory, i hit sometimes 1507, but frequency goes most of the time jumping from 1468/1433 like you.
 
I got 73% Asic, and use the stock bios for the moment.
Are you using stock bios ?Because in my case i already tried to flash the bios and use the 1420X.rom bios done by Sajin but it failed for me twice, i had every time my graphic card bricked and i had to bring back the original bios.
 
I may probably test an other bios, would you guys have any recommended BIOS with higher power target ?

What a beast!

What's the diff btw the 980 and 980 Ti  besides the cost?

 
More CUDA cores, more memory, faster clock if I recall correctly. You can select both models on EVGAs site and do a side by side comparison. There is a potential performance gain with the Ti model. Price to performance I think the non Ti model may be the better deal, but I'm not sure.

The 980 is a GM204 gpu core and the 980ti is a GM200 (titan x with less memory and a few Cuda cores disabled).

Finally edited my bios, and could achieve 1528Mhz stable on 3DMark with it, but the card heat like a toaster in charge (80/82°C with 75% Speed fan, 74°C at full speed).
 
My waterblock is coming at the end of the week so it will fix this problem, i'm really happy about my card!

Sounds like a good card :-)

Water is always better for temps for sure.

Sent my classified in for RMA due to idle temps sitting at 65c. Fingers crossed my replacement is okay. 

Are the EVGA Geforce GTX 980 Ti graphics cards compatible on a motherboard that supports PCI Express 2.0 only?

Yes, my aging p8p67 is a 2.0 board only (as is my cpu actually lol, 2600k) and I just picked up a 980TI Hybrid. It's purring along quite nicely! A major leap over the 980 I replace with it.
