ASUS ROG Announces Matrix GTX 980
We teased you last week and here it is - the new Matrix GTX 980! It has already dropped a new 3DMark 11 Performance result of 28,557, setting its status as one of the world's top-performing graphics cards, and we expect there's still much more benching to come once the world's overclockers get a-hold of theirs as well!
Matrix special features include a DirectCU II cooler with CoolTech fan, unique matt-black heatpipes and real-time load reactive ROG LED you can see through your case window. Underneath, the PCB packs a memory defroster for extreme overclockers (that's what the 4-pin Molex on the end is for), and a Safe Mode button that resets everything is things go too far.
There's the usual ASUS DIGI+ VRM hardware that now powered 14 phases, with upgraded Super Alloy Power bits and 10k black-metallic capacitors that work well even when sub-zero. Extreme overclockers who hardware unlock the card have plenty of power overhead to dive into.
The Matrix GTX 980 by the numbers:
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 GPU
- Video memory: 4GB GDDR5
- GPU boost clock: 1342MHz
- GPU base clock: 1241MHz
- GDDR5 Memory clock: 7010MHz (effective)
- Memory interface: 256-bit
- DVI output: 1 x Native Dual-link DVI-I
- HDMI output: 1 x Native HDMI 2.0
- DisplayPort: 3 x Native DisplayPort
- Adapters/cables bundled: 1 x Power Cable, 1 x ROG Metal Sticker
- Software bundled: ASUS utilities and driver
- ROG Edition GPU Tweak
- Dimensions: 11.7 x 6 x 1.6in
