We have seen plenty of variants of the GTX 980Ti over the last 9 months or so but today GALAX has launched one that really caught our eye. Today marks the launch of the GALAX GTX 980Ti HOF GOC, an all white GTX 980Ti complete with a modified PCB and 14+3 phase power design which should position it as one of the fastest 980Tis around.
Right now, as videocardz points out, the only other 980Ti to offer a 14+3 phase power design is the EVGA Kingpin edition. MSI's own Lightning Edition card comes close with a 12+3+1 power phase design.
The GALAX 980Ti HOF GOC edition comes with three 8pin power connectors and is equipped with a dual-fan cooler. The cooler features a slightly wider design, allowing for two larger fans and five heat pipes to help dissipate heat at a more efficient rate.
Finally, this card also comes with a hefty overclock right out of the box with a 1203 MHz base core clock, which boosts up to 1304 MHz. Obviously a card like this is built with overclocking in mind so you could probably push it even further.
KitGuru Says: That is quite the impressive card that GALAX has come out with. Are any of you big into GPU overclocking? What do you think of this card?
Good job Galax. I might buy from you a Pascal card next time. However, it will all depend on nvidia if they would win with higher fps in Star Citizen.
I get 1444Mhz out of my MSi 980Ti, should be able to push it quite a bit further with this thing. 🙂
the previous LN2 GOC Edition (http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/anton-shilov/galax-offers-geforce-gtx-980-ti-graphics-card-for-extreme-overclockers/) had a 16+3 phase power delivery system. so i don’t know what all the fuss is with 14+3.
i can get both my LN2 and LN2 GOC Edition cards up to 1525mhz without needing to add any extra voltage or increase fan speed.
So is LN2 good for slightly less experienced Overclockers then with that?
Hope they make graphics card as big as an MATX board.
It is good for all overclockers.
There was only one batch of LN2 GOC Edition made, so this is new GOC is the best one you can get.
alright cool, guess ill save some paychecks, im still learning OC as I havent done it much
EVGA Precision X, MSI Afterburner and other softwares make it really easy to do. just make sure not to overdo it and you should be good.
yea im learning how to tune with voltages and stuff,
start with the base voltages and go up a few mhz at a time. after you find the max stable speed with the base voltages, add a couple mv at a time to see if you can increase the speed any more. same thing for memory. increase little by little each time. it takes patience. but the performance increase is well worth it for most people.
there are many forums that can also help you out with that (linustechtips, overclockers.co.uk, etc).
sounds good, will definitely check it out, I really want something with good performance, especially with how new games are going. thanks 🙂
