Pros: You should already know the specs on this card so I'm not going to go into performance. The 980ti is a beast. My main concern was the sound, as I've never had reference cards before, and had heard nothing but horror stories as to how loud they are and how hot they run. I have a Define R5 case and was planning on doing SLI, so the blower design seemed like my only reasonable option considering aftermarket designs don't play well in SLI in relatively small, low airflow cases. The first good news is that these are silent at idle, or at least they're not louder than my platter drives because that's the loudest sound coming from my case and we're talking about a baseline hum. Loading up the Witcher 3 at 4k and all of my fears were instantly abated. At full load, I won't say they're silent, they're not, and my case does have sound dampening paneling so take that into consideration. But it's not the "vacuum cleaner" I was warned about either. It's more like a good floor fan that has been set to low. You don't hear the fan or the fan motor, but the sound of air moving at a low volume. My air conditioner kicking in (and it is that time of year) cancels out any sound I hear coming from my PC at all. I might add that I get zero coil whine, which is really what I was hoping for going with the reference PCBs. Nvidia made these right the first time around, no reason to fix what isn't broken.

Cons: They do get up to 84C under full load (this is adjustable as I understand it, up to 91C, but I'm going to stick with stock settings for the time being as I'm running SLI). The air coming out the back is quite hot, and the card interface plates and cables plugged into it also get their share of heat. I've read about some people having cheap cabling that starts to melt/burn, and while I initially doubted that, I don't anymore. I hope you have quality cables.

Overall Review: I've never been happier with a GPU purchase, let alone two of them. Not getting any microstuttering either. I've left this review on both the Gigabyte and EVGA models as those are the two I got, but they are just standard reference cards inside. It's all the same stuff. For what it's worth, EVGA did a much better job packaging.

Pros: This card is blazing fast. It runs on a cut-down version of the Titan X GPU, so its more akin to a Titan X than a standard 980. It runs only marginally slower than a Titan X and has shown to perform nearly identically (in terms of FPS) in most games that I've seen tested, and it's significantly cheaper. This is certainly the way to go for the high-end gaming experience at 1440p or 4k resolutions. It's overkill for 1080p. Running Heaven benchmarks had me sitting at 60+ fps virtually the entire runthrough, with very high settings and awesome tessellation. Only occasionally were there microstutters here and there, but I imagine this is more due to my old CPU/motherboard limitations than the card itself. The card will eventually occupy an x99 system, where it will shine immensely. On average, it held 90-100 fps on ridiculous settings when benchmarked at 1080p, and not much of a drop at 1440p. It will eat up any games you want to play, easily.

Cons: Price. It's still a bit on the expensive side, but you certainly get what you pay for. I doubt Nvidia would have gotten away with prices like these for a "flagship" card in an earlier series, but lately they have so dominated the GPU market over AMD that's not surprising they've gotten a little more bold with the pricing.

Overall Review: If you're willing to shell out major cash for a great experience at 1440p or 4k, then this is your card. Only a few percentage points lower in performance than a Titan X in gaming benches, and yet $350.00 cheaper. Not sure there's anything else to say.

Pros: I am thoroughly impressed by the performance of this card. It was a huge upgrade from my 660ti! I managed to get a great overclock with a Firestrike Ultra result of 4750.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I ordered this on a Tuesday in Melbourne Australia and received it the next Monday. I was very impressed with the constant tracking updates through DHL and would recommend purchasing through Newegg to anyone!

Pros: +With a manual fan setting, never exceeds 65c/70% fan. ( 28c ambient ) +No coil whine noticed so far. +Quiet +Lights up with a soft green " Geforce GTX" on the side of the GPU. +The stock heatsink and casing look and smell like quality. +Ability to apply an EVGA Hybrid cooling kit +Standard boost clock is 1228mhz/3505mhz

Cons: - Lacks a backplate. ( Should be standard for this tier of GPU )

Overall Review: I'm a 1080p gamer that dabbles in 2d/3d artwork for hobbies. That said, this 980 Ti is what I've been waiting for, in terms of memory capacity and raw performance/cost ratio, it's the best available option at this time.

Pros: Great Nvidia reference card. Does great at 1440p kills anything at max settings. Quite runs cool but its Nvidia. Overclocks and boost to almost 1500mhz with ease not even getting close to the 92C thermal limit.

Cons: No back plate like the lower end 970-980 reference cards. Didn't come in the sexy Nvidia packing box. Nothing EVGA other than packing. Cheap packing and damaged box. Clearly hand packed mine had some smudges and a couple scuffs on the heat sink. Sucks paying $649 for a card with scratches on it.

Pros: Best Single GPU Card as of 6/1/15 If you want 4K or triple 1440p gaming with everything cranked to max, grab a pair of these

Cons: Pretty Expensive, but i'm used to the high $ tag for gaming

Pros: Highest end semi-affordable blower style single card solution

Cons: Backplate not included in order to maximize profit, which would not normally be a negative, but Nvidia spun (fibbed) story by saying it increased air circulation in sli. only 4 eggs because Nvidia should be more up front after 970 3.5Gb memory snafu.

Pros: At most, it's 10% slower than a Titan X for nearly 40% less in cost. It overclocks more like a Titan X than a 980, meaning there won't be too many of these hitting 1600 on the core.

Cons: It's still a fair bit more expensive than flagship cards were before the 600 series.
