Great card. If i was a serious gamer I would have bought a Ti but this card is fine. Was able to play the new Beta Starwars Battlefield on extreme settings with around 80 fps according to my pc. Used MSI afterburer software to incease my fan speed other wise the card would reach 80*c. I love the card for the mild gaming I do.

I bought this card when my 980ti went south, installation was quick and easy and there was minimal setup. Not as fast as the 980ti but not nearly as expensive. A very good bang for the buck video card.

Powering a single HP 1080 monitor, I have not found a game in my library yet that I can't play at MAX resolution. This card is quieter then my older R9 and about 10X faster. Thinking of upgrading to dual so I can run triple 4k in the future.

I installed this in my new pc build and am loving it so far. Most games will run cool and quiet at max settings without overclocking or needing a ridiculous cooling system.

This card runs a bit hot, hitting 80c., resulting in dynamic frequency to decrease MHz ever so slightly. This card doesn't over heat, but I researched this and NVidia designs their reference cards this way. NVidia cares more about acoustics (keeping the fan rpm/noise down), more than they care about the temperature and how hot their card gets. Thermal throttling happens at 80c, but over heating happens at 98c, however due to thermal throttling this card should never get that hot. If your reading this review and find my logic to be incorrect, please reply and fill me in on the details. Four stars as this card hasn't given me any problems yet. I've been able to run all games on ultra settings. This GTX 980 reference card was a perfect upgrade for $274.

Bought this as a second 980 for SLI on my new computer build and it works perfectly... Consistent 60 FPS or more in every game I throw at it with all settings on Ultra... Very high Firestrike Ultra score even without OC...

Beast of a GPU

Moving up from a GTX 770 was like night and day. Unless you're planning to game in 4K, the 980 barely breaks a sweat at 1080 60fps.
And speaking of breaking a sweat, the power consumption was a world of difference, too. The 770 fan could make some serious noise under only medium loads; the 980 is almost inaudible, even when being pushed.

Works flawlessly with my Mid 2012 Mac Pro. HUGE graphic performance jumps from the previous Radeon HD 5870 and complete stability and better performance over a recent go with a GTX680. Highly recommended for Mid 2012 Mac Pro.

Pretty decent when it comes to performance compared to the 980 ti version and the new 1090 version ( which are excellent and expensive ). It came from the one who manilufacture the chipset of all gpus. The only con is, Nvidia does not have its own software to tweek this gpu. I am now in the process of using MSI or EVGA's overclocking software. Will post again. Otherwise, good, well build, and solid product.

This product is a worth while purchase. It gives your graphic intensive games some of the best performance possible. Yes performance is the goal here, being able to play your favorite games with all the setting maxed out is the best part. Coupling it with a monitor that supports Gsync does even more justice. So if you have the cash and a little know how you can have this improve not only your gaming or 3d graphics in work, or play. If you do not know much about graphics cards buy the right product for your needs is important. Hopefully the sales rep is knowledgeable about which card you would need.

Had a few issues getting it installed. Totally blame my husbands lack of experience in that area. Once tech support helped us with it all was good. Runs great, no glitches or issues. My husband is in love with it and ready to buy a second one to run with it.

I didn't realize what I was missing with my previous 2Gig GTX. For today's games 4Gig is the bear minimum. This did the trick without breaking the bank. Bestbuys price match is awesome. I get the best deal and don't have to wait for shipping.

The 980 is a great card, but at this price point there are better cards available. If you get it on sale though, it would be a great deal. The power usage of the new model cards is amazing and it smashes new titles with ease.

I caught this on clearance at bestbuy.com so i upgraded from my GTX680. I have not been disappointed. I have it driving two 27" monitors. I may still suck at some of my games but at least now i suck real fast LOL. Also, i went with a green lighting theme for my case, keyboard and mouse so it is a nice bonus that GTX980 glows green across the top of the card. I would definitely recommend this card.
