Evga Teases GTX 980 Ti Classified ACX 2.0+ Graphics Card

Evga, one of the leaders in the US market of enthusiast graphics solutions, bedazzled its fans with another videocard, based on GeForce GTX 980 Ti GPU. The GeForce GTX 980 Ti Classified ACX 2.0+ features 150.88x279.4 mm + dual-slot width dimensions. For a better efficiency, it requires a rather mighty PSU (not less than 600 W); the connection to the power supply is organized via two 8-pin PCI Express connectors.

Evga GTX 980 Ti Classified ACX 2.0+ is differentiated by an enforced power supply subsystem that consists of 14+3 phases. The list of other peculiarities includes the availability of dual VGA BIOS chips and the integration of an advanced ACX 2.0+ cooler. It boasts a copper nickel-plated base, a pair of independent heatsink sections (63 + 54 aluminum fins), four 8 mm heatpipes, one 6 mm heatpipe, and a couple of fans. According to the manufacturers, this cooler is by 26% more efficient and by 36% quieter than the etalon model.

The heart of the videocard is the combination of a high-performance GPU GM200-310 (2816 CUDA cores, 96 ROPs, 176 TMUs) and 6 GB of GDDR5 memory. Both are characterized by factory overclocking: GPU runs at 1190 MHZ (base)/1291 MHz (boost) frequency, while 284-bit memory offers 7010 MHz frequency and 336.5 Gb/sec bandwidth.

The new-comer is equipped with 3x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI and 1x DVI ports. Moreover, it is shipped with frontal/rear amplifiers as well as a set of fixtures. The recommended by the vendor retail price makes up $699.
