GeForce GTX 980 |
GeForce GTX 980 Superclocked - 2048 CUDA, 1241/1342 MHz, 4096MB, 256bit GDDR5, PCI-E 3.0 16x
The new EVGA GeForce GTX 980 is powered by the next-generation NVIDIA Maxwell architecture, giving you incredible performance, unmatched power efficiency, and cutting-edge features.
Maxwell is the most advanced GPU architecture ever made, designed to be the engine of next-generation gaming. Inspired by light, it was designed to solve some of the most complex lighting and graphics challenges in visual computing. For the first time, gaming GPUs can dynamically render indirect light using the new VXGI (Voxel Global Illumination technology. Scenes are significantly more lifelike as light interacts more realistically in the game environment.
<b>Incredible Speed and Power Efficiency</b>
The GTX 980 is the world's fastest GPU and the GTX 970 offers the most advanced performance in its class. Each delivers 2x the performance of previous-generation cards, bringing new gaming experiences to virtual reality, HD, and ultra-resolution 4K displays.
<b>Dynamic Super Resolution Technology</b>
Enable the detail of 4K monitors, on a 1080P display. DSR produces smoother images by rendering a game at a high resolution, then downscaling it to the native resolution of the display using advanced filtering.
<b>Super-Smooth and Stutter-Free</b>
GeForce GTX 980 and 970 cards support tear-free, super-fast NVIDIA G-Sync monitor display technology, including 4K. Together, these technologies provide the most immersive and competitive gaming experiences possible.
