Nvidia GTX980 Ti Review

As we mentioned earlier in the review, Nvidia are controlling the launch of their GTX980Ti, which means we have no partner cards right now available to analyse.

A high percentage of KitGuru readers will be waiting to buy a modified GTX980 Ti, so if we only test the GTX980Ti at the modest reference clock speeds, we will likely be showing the card in a worst case scenario. Even though it gave us more work this week, we wanted to also include results from the GTX980 Ti at the maximum overclocked speeds. This should give us a realistic real world indication of what we can expect from overclocked custom cards in the coming months.


As we expected, there is plenty of overclocking headroom available. We managed to push the boost speed from 1,076mhz to 1,349mhz, translating into a substantial 25% overclock. Not to be sneezed at.

Every graph in the review today will have two entry fields for the Nvidia GTX980 Ti. One entry will be reference clocks performance. Next to this will be a yellow arrow pointing upwards with a second entry showing the gains when the clocks are increased to 1349mhz boost /1858mhz memory.
