![]() MSI says its smaller, uses stronger fans, generates less noise, and keeps the card and its components cooler. Since this is the Gaming line, we are graced with the red and black theme that should be recognizable to those that know the MSI branding. Some major features that MSI wants to share with you are listed below (images sourced from MSI website).įirst is that TFV cooler I was talking about earlier. Power consumption (W) / Recommended Power Supply (W) / Power Connectorsġx 8-pin Power Cable, 1x DVI to VGA DongleĢ69 x 140 x 40mm (10.59″ x 5.51″ x 1.57″) MSI GTX 980Ti Gaming 6G Specifcationsġ (Dual-link DVI-I), Max Res: 2560 x 1600 Hz. Please check out the specifications table below for all the details. The TFV cooler/card is only a bit over 1.5″ wide (double slot) so there is ample room if you want to stuff a couple of these into your PC. ![]() The fans even stay off until the GPU temperature reaches 60 ☌. If history is any sign of performance, the Twin Frozr V (TFV moving forward) cooler should get the job done well and quietly. We will see what I pulled from the wall a bit later in the review to see if my initial concerns are warranted, or off the mark. Particularly the more power hungry FX series and overclocking them. I can certainly agree with that value on the Intel side of things, but you may be getting a bit too close for comfort on an AMD machine. ![]() MSI recommends a 400W power supply that has the required two 8-pin PCIe power connectors. The memory speed is 1774 MHz (7010 GDDR5) giving you that 340GB/s value I mentioned above.īoard power on the card sits around the 250W mark. In my testing, I found the card to boost up consistently to 1354 MHz with occasional blips to 1380 MHz with everything left at stock. Speaking of clocks, the core comes in at 1178 MHz (a big 178 MHz difference over reference) with a minimum boost of 1279 MHz. The 6GB (6,144MB to be exact) of GDDR5 vRAM sits on a 384-bit bus making for a total of 340.6GB/s bandwidth. The GTX 980 Ti comes with 2,816 shader units, on 96 ROPs and 176 TMUs. I’m sure we have all read the launch day review for those lucky enough to receive one from NVIDIA, but we’ll go over some of the high level specifications too.įirst off, this is the same GM200 core found on the Titan X, except it was chopped down a bit for this application. Well, enough of the high level teaser, let’s get our hands dirty, shall we? Specifications and Featuresīelow we start out with the specifications table, you can find the same information (and more) at the MSI website. Mix that all together, and you have the MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6G. MSI took the reference model and decided to give it a stronger heart by fortifying its VRM area, improving upon its cooling and noise footprint with the Twin Frozr V cooler, and ratcheted up the performance by providing a beefy factory applied overclock. But the Titan X does not have this ability and it still has the high price tag. With the previous Titan, its very high cost could be accepted by consumers because of its ability to switch into double precision mode for better compute performance, typically in business applications. The GTX 980 Ti is a peculiar card in a very positive way for consumers, because of its overall performance being so close to the mighty Titan X, yet the cost is about 33% less. And also what its partner, MSI, has done to improve upon the reference model. Today, you will be reading about one of the fastest single GPU cards that NVIDIA has put out in its history – the GTX 980 Ti.
