Box Contains 1 x GTX 980 Gaming 4 Review: More than happy! - Being a console gamer all my life this was a massive step for me. I spend a lot of time on different gaming forum's, and of late, the constant bickering over which consoles are best has really irritated me. So I decided to jump into pc gaming. This card has blown my mind. I decide to dive in and build my own pc, I'm so glad I made this decision! This card is amazing to say the least, everything upto now I've played has been 1080p on ultra and 60fps (I play on a big tv and the tv can only manage 60fps). I try Mad Max to see what the fps was, it went up to around 120-130fps but the screen tearing because of my TV was bad. So on a good monitor this msi card would be awesome. The card is also silent. Because the fans only spin when the card is being pushed hard, you never hear it. I'll be amazed if it ever has to use the fans for me tbh, 1080p at 60fps is nothing for this beast. I'd highly recommend this msi Gtx 980, I know it's not cheap, especially if like me your taking your first steps into pc gaming, but it's money well spent when you see for the first time what it's capable of. Review: Best card i've owned. - Not really sure where to start, performance-wise its incredible. I play at 1440p and this thing rarely goes below 60 fps. Overclocked results can sometimes be tied with the reference nvidia 980ti on scores. I have a small overclock on it just now to raise my minimum fps a little, but really no need. Stay cool, never gets over 72C even with an overclock. Stay very quiet also, I've NEVER heard this thing operate. Its great for just web browsing too as the fans do not run until the card hits 60C. so it will not make a noise. I've also not heard one bit of coil whine either. Excellent card all round. ## Features - NVIDIA Super Resolution technology - NVIDIA GameWorks technology - NVIDIA G-Sync - Ready - NVIDIA GPU Boost 2.0 - NVIDIA CUDA technology ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00NOP53AA | | Antenna Location | Gaming | | Best Sellers Rank | 122,737 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 797 in Graphics Cards | | Brand Name | MSI | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (203) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00824142028841, 04719072368968 | | Graphics Card Interface | PCI Express | | Graphics Card Ram | 4 GB | | Graphics Coprocessor | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 | | Graphics Description | Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 4GB GDDR5 | | Graphics Ram Type | DDR3 SDRAM | | Item Weight | 4.25 Pounds | | Manufacturer | MSI | | Maximum Display Resolution | 2560x1600 | | Memory Clock Speed | 7010 MHz | | Model Name | MSI PCI-E GTX980 GAMING 4096MB DDR5 HDMI/DVI/3-DP retail | | Number of Fans | 3 | | UPC | 806293909255 809385685068 808112555483 805095125108 729650586336 824142028841 801940089083 809186290324 804066790994 807030514459 610556387403 012305007530 012304120452 | | Video Output Interface | DVI | | Video Processor | NVIDIA | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MSI - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Graphics RAM size:** 4 GB - **Graphics RAM type:** DDR3 SDRAM - **Graphics card interface:** PCI Express - **Graphics co-processor:** NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 - **Graphics processor manufacturer:** NVIDIA - **Memory clock speed:** 7010 MHz - **Recommended uses for product:** Gaming - **Video output interface:** DVI ## Images ![MSI NVIDIA GTX 980 Gaming Graphics Card (4GB, PCI Express, 256 Bit) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cVra18p-L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: why is there a cat in costomer images? does it come with the card?** A: The cat is actually the NVidia engineer who arrives with the card and installs it for you. **Q: Is the graphic card compatible with the Sony VAIO VPCCB3P1E laptop?** A: This graphics card is for use in a desktop computer.The card itself is about half the size of a laptop.Hope this helps **Q: What's the core clock and boost clock MHz?** A: There are three different modes in which this graphics card operates, each of which having their own core clock and boost clock speed.
