This review is from: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 06G-P4-4995-KR 6GB SC+ GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling w/ Free Installed Backplate Graphics Card
Pros:
This card came out just in time as I was looking to upgrade. It runs cooler than the 780Ti it replaced, and quieter (more on that later). The gpu idles at 37°C bumping up to 40-45°C with casual non gaming use (watching a video on VLC, for example). GPU-Z reports 0% fan speed at those temps.
It has a back plate included for a bit more structural integrity, might even help dissipate the heat. All the games I've thrown at it runs smooth with all the eye candy turned on. And at the time of my purchase, it came with a free game (Batman: Arkham Knight)
Cons:
I don't think it is a con per se so I'll put it under "Other thoughts"
Overall Review:
This card runs quieter than the 780Ti that it replaced perhaps because the fans turn on much later. GPU-Z reported that the fan kicks in at a low rpm around 60°C gpu temp and the gpu would hit up to 80°C while gaming. I wasn't comfortable with that so I installed EVGA's PrecisionX 16 and set up a custom fan curve. Now the gpu temps maxes out at 50~60°C while gaming. I noticed that the gpu will idle 37°C with or without the fan, and will bump up to 40-45°C under non-gaming use with or without the fan. So, I just turn PrecisionX 16 off when not gaming.
