Strix GTX 980 Ti had a makeover, and it sure looks menacing.   This time round, there are 2816 CUDA cores with 6GB DDR5 RAM, on top of that (literally) is the new DirectCU III cooling system including super-fat 10mm heatpipes, and not two but three fans!  The fans are of a new patented blade design to increase pressure, but when not needed there is still the 0dB feature for silent operation.  

GPU Tweak also had a makeover, now GPU Tweak II has a brand new intuitive UI,  Game Booster to free up system resources with a single click to maximize your framerate and benchmark scores.  Plus you get a 1 year FREE XSplit Premium License worth US$99!

EK, BitsPower and Thermaltake have made water-cooling blocks especially for this stupendous card.

The brushed-metal backplate remains but a new addition is the GPU Fortifier, there is a fair amount of pressure around the GPU since hefty heatpipes are secured firmly onto it, the Fortifier will keep the PCB from bending.

Strix GTX 980 Ti is made using a new manufacturing process called Auto-Extreme Technology, the entire process is completely automated for extreme consistency and reliability.  All sharp ends of pins are now removed to make the PCB completely smooth.

Strix RAID DLX

Why get a discrete sound card nowadays?  For starters, how about industry-leading 124dB SNR (signal to noise ratio) 7.1 surround sound?  192kHz/24Bit quality perhaps? Intergrated headphone amp, onboard op-amp and RAID mode are also included to sweeten the deal.

Strix RAID PRO

Both RAID DLX and PRO come with the Audio Station, allowing you to select the output, have quick-access to volume control, and provides RAID mode so you can adjust the sound exactly to your liking, and get an edge when gaming.

Strix SOAR

Instead of quick-access to the Audio Station, Strix SOAR holds its own and has been well-compensated with Sonic Studio software which gives you full control over the sound options, including Strix Command to eliminate noise, Sonic Radar to help you pinpoint enemies and much more.
