The Asus GeForce G
Not the cheapest GTX 980 on the market
Could be considered quite bland for an ASUS DirectCU II card in terms of looks
Only 1 x DVI port
The reference GTX980 is excellent and is likely to be £80 less
Make no mistake - the GTX980 is a beast of a card. NVidia managed to surpass expectations with Maxwell 2.0, and with ASUS' own take on it, the STRIX OC version takes this a step further. The card is aesthetically pleasing, the matte black design is gorgeo...
Abstract: Maxwell has been quite a success story for NVidia. Built on TSMC's 28nm process, the first generation iteration gave us GM107 in the form of GTX 750Ti, a powerful mid-range card with abysmally low power consumption and increased performance compared to it...

Sturdy appearance, Attractively priced, Appeals to tinkerers
High power draw despite modest factory overclocks
The performance of the ASUS Strix GeForce GTX 980 OC Edition was marginally lagging its competitors due to its lower operating clock speeds. Only in its overclocked state did the card make an impression on us. Its DirectCU II cooling system didn't do any ...
