I ordered from the EVGA.com site. Thanks for the info. 

Not a problem. The VRAM .5mm thermal pads may be precut to fit. It makes everything really easy and after a year of using the ek pads, they were still working wonderful..

Using the fujiploy extreme pads, they were dry, brittle and fell apart... I won't pay for those again.

I don't see anything at that link that even mentions games. I saw where an AC or Rainbox Six game was the option, but I still don't see how I get a code. 
 
EDIT: Got the code.

@evga i need some help
 
i have 4 gtx 980ti evga acx 2.0+ sc with back plate gpus in quad sli , i am running 1 right now
 
i fail to understand why the gpu is not boosting to 1500mhz , my g1 gaming 980ti from gigabyte boots to 1520mhz and evga gpu is not ---no thermal limits are hit i have 1600watt psu rampage iv extreme mobo .
 
i have tried to oc the gpu slightly but in fire strike its 1488mhz then it comes down to 1433mhz for no reasons temps are in 70c , even if i max out all the options it does not do 1500mhz
 
yet in valley and some games it does 1500mhz but then comes down on its own to 1488 or lower for no reason
 
its the same with all 4 gpus ----i am downloading precesion x latest version to see if that helps ....but i am very dissapointed
also in quad sli i have plenty of air flow in corsair 900d casing with the a/c on right now ----temps are all over the place if not checked in valley they touched 90c on full fan speed ..whats happening

That's serious mistake building even 3 way SLI ACX 2.0.
Simply no such big case enough to cooldown even 3 cards.
They need room and open case and probably will be hot around that case. 
You should decide between reference cards, Hybrid cooler or watercooling block.
And if you talk about GIGABYTE card with 1150MHz clock than it's normal to boost higher than card with 1100MHz clock.
Did you tried to overclock with Afterburner, to increase power target to max?

 
i have tried it above 170+ in after burner its not stable even with max core voltage and power limit options , what i dont get is why it auto down clocks from 1488 to 1455 or 1433 in fire strike even if temps are 70c i am talking about a single gpu here .
 
i agree on the cooling might be they are sandwhiched but i am only using 1 gpu and have removed the rest ...atleaast it should do 1500mhz as a damn 970 is doing it with ease .
 
i am so dissapointed there is a local oc compeition going on and i think i will fail miserably coz ppl with g1 gaming 980ti are all over 1500mhz boost and i cant even do that .....
 
 

ur right there , i have all the options maxed out power limit and temps , and i have prioritized temps over power limit temps dont even reach 80c but the boost goes up and down at will ..
 
as i said after burner 170+ is the max stable with these gpus i have all 4 , with asic values all till 75 % on all 4 gpus  , why would evga make a bios which wont allow the gpu to boost to 1500mhz .
 
plus there is no bios recovery option on the gpu in case the bios update fails or some thing i have  a bricked gpu , cant just send it back to evga coz i am at the other side of the world all the way over in pakistan
 
my question is the random ups and down on the boost clock for no good reason .
 
 

Hey All
So got my new pc and having some trouble with my Grapics card...
I downloaded BF4 and played for a while no problem.Temps where good fans where spinning like they should.So next day i wanted to play bf4 and the fans where not spinning when the card was under load.
Around 80-85 ? The card blows hot air out of the side to reduce the temperature and when it's back up to 85 ? it does it again.
In evga precisionX 16 tool i saw that the fan speed bar was going up but the counter stayed @ 0rpm and fans where not spinning ???
The Fan speed is on auto and fan curve is on agrassive so ya...Don't know what here the problem is ?
Here are some pictures:

PC specs:
-Evga GTX 980 TI SC GPU
-i5 4690 3.5Ghz CPU
-8GB 1600 Hyper X Ram
-MSI Gaming 3 Motherboard

please guys i need a little help here :

@evga
 
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

Has the Hydro been upgraded to the new shroud yet? That copper colored one is NASTY.

Wrong thread.. Go to the Hybrid thread.

Also, the answer is not yet, which was already posted in the Hybrid thread. Jacob said it would take time, as the new shroud isn't even released yet.

My bad.
 
THank you for the answer and pointing me in right direction.

No worries. The shroud will start shipping next week, but for it to be on the new cards may be slightly longer. I meant to say that earlier, and forgot in my youngish old age.

There is no Hybrid thread that I can find.

Hi all, just received my 980TI
Currently I'm using Mini Display Ports for my Eyefinity triple monitor set up.
Old card was Radion. And I had to use active adapters.
Just need some help in setup, as my card came with option 1 for display.
I'm waiting on 3 Acer XB270HU's
What wiring configuration do I need to use ?

 

I am at 3x2560x1440 also.  Just using the 3 dp ports on the cards with accell dp 1.2 cables.  Then using a dvi for the 4th extended monitor.  No active adapters needed.
