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.

Yes really is GTX980Ti big performance difference and more video memory for 130-150$. Usually NVIDIA ask same price difference only for GTX970>GTX980, for same chip. Now GTX980Ti is one class higher chip,
overclocked BIOS compensate less CUDA cores than TITAN X... Every custom if possible should pay price difference for GTX980Ti.
EVGA sell GTX980 for around 520$ and GTX980Ti is around 660$, more or less depend what customer want, but usually is 140-150$ difference. If GTX980 is only 20% stronger than GTX970... GTX980Ti is 50% stronger than GTX980. Price difference among them same.
 
I have recommendation for EVGA Hybrid model next year.
Maybe radiator should be cubic type as EKWB Coolstream PE or CORSAIR H110i GT.
If that's not problem with company who produce AIO for EVGA.
With EVGA company name on radiator, not to big fonts but visible. Maybe even White LED.
Box, I mean package should stay same, customers are amazed with K|NGP|N and Hybrid package and ask is it so good package only when they order from EVGA. That's significant investment for company when you count how many cards need so good package, but mean a lot for people.
 
 
 
 

i have the evga gtx 980ti SC+ ACX2.0
bios Version is
 
BIOS Version 84.00.41.00.90
 
 
is there an newer one to Flash??
when yes which Version Number has the new File
 
thx forward

hello
I also wanted to know about graphics.
can anyone help me out in this.

Hello welcome to the forums. What is your question? We will help any way we can.

Is my Power Supply ok to run GTX 980 Ti FTW ? Corsair AX760
 
 
 

Yes!

Dschijn
Yes!

Awesome, thanks ! Is it better advised to run it as factory settings, or is it fine to overclock even more ?

So, I am trying to decide buying the 06G-P4-4996-KR (GTX 980 Ti FTW GAMING ACX 2.0+) or the 06G-P4-4998-KR (GTX 980 Ti CLASSIFIED GAMING ACX 2.0+).
 
The only difference I can find in these 2x cards other than looks is the power phase and max power draw:
06G-P4-4996-KR Power Phase 8+2 and the Max Power draw is 275W
06G-P4-4998-KR Power Phase 14+3 and the Max Power draw is 300W
 
Would the 4998 with its power phase be considered for better OC'ing and consume more power and the 4996 be more power efficient?

No, the 4998 is not guaranteed to have better overclocking capability. The extra power phases are to provide cleaner power under extreme voltage loads and subzero temperatures.

The ftw does provide slightly cleaner power over reference, because it does have 2 more power phases compared to reference 6+2, but again, you are on air, so it will make minimal impact. Same goes for both cards.

The ftw is better for smaller cases because it is 1 inch smaller than the classified. The classified has a full inch of extra space for the power phases from side to side. They are the same length (11.5"), and height (2") but the classified measures in at lose to 5.5" where the ftw is close to 4.5".

Both cards are subject to the silicone lottery. You could get a fantastic card that overclock very well from both, or you could get a lemon from both.

Most 980ti's will hit close to 1450mhz with no sweat on air. Some have gone to 1550 and some have not gone past stock specifications.. It is all subjective to the GPU die.

If you ever want to watercooling, get the classified.. It has a compatible waterblocks from ek waterblocks.

If you plan to stay on air, I would suggest the ftw. Either will do what you want though.. But the classified is meant for subzero cooling in reality.

I bought 2 classifieds recently, only because they had waterblocks and I got them for less than a ftw costed, so I couldn't complain.

Well, the FTW is currently going for $629.99 on Newegg.com and Amazon.com. The Classified is going for $678.99 on both Newegg and Amazon. I am currently running a 1366 motherboard (Rampage III Formula with i7-970) in a Cooler Master HAF Stacker 935 with 2x GTX 680s (02G-P4-2687-KR), but I am waiting to see how things look with the new Skylake-E that comes out later this year. I just haven't been that pleased with a lot of the motherboards for both the X79 and X99 chipsets. I do get a little irritated that Intel keeps updating the mid-range PCs a lot more often and leaving the Enthusiasts left out to dry. It used to be the other way around, but Intel's just trying to go for more money now instead. I am curious as to what the new socket and chipset for the new Skylake-E with hold. I cannot find anything more other than Intel plans to release it later this year.....
