Product Description

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. Incredible Speed and Power Efficiency 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. Dynamic Super Resolution Technology 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. Super-Smooth and Stutter-Free 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.

Awesome Video Card + Awesome Manufacturer
I'm not going to write a very long review because you can find the specifications and benchmarks of this card on nearly every major tech website. Instead I'll focus on what separates EVGA and this card from other manufacturers succinctly. EVGA is one of those rare manufacturers that hasn't outsourced it's support so if you're in the USA and have an issue with your video card at 2 am, you can call their 24/7 tech support and be assured someone will pick up on the other end.My experience with their warranty service has been stellar and beyond what most companies do. For example, I previously purchased a pair of GTX Titans and after a year, one of them died on me. I used EVGA's online RMA system and since I purchased their advanced RMA warranty, they cross shipped me another one and I had a replacement in two days. Prior to that, I had an EVGA GTX 680 that had a broken component on it (purchased it like that used from someone else). I sent pictures of this to EVGA and asked if it could be repaired, even if I had to pay. To my astonishment, they simply said, "send it in to us and we'll either fix it or send you another one". Sure enough, a few days later after they got it, I checked the online system and a replacement had been issued. How can you beat that kind of service?Now as far as the EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0, I bought 2 of these in SLI and run them in an NZXT H440 case which is famous for poor airflow. However, despite that, these bad boys overclock to 1520 MHz core on stock voltage (1.206v) with +400 on the memory and they don't even flinch. Temperatures are also really good, GPU 1 is 78C max after hours of gameplay and GPU2 is 68-70C max. Fans never rev to 100% either, GPU 1 maxes at 75% and GPU2 at 65% using EVGA Precision to control them. ASIC quality for mine were both 75-76% so I lucked out there.So the price is good, the performance is fantastic (they destroy my Titans when comparing both OC'd) and the operating temperature is really good. I can't really think of any cons associated with this video card and especially EVGA. If you're in the market for a new video card, go for the EVGA GTX 980, you won't regret it.UPDATE: 2/23/15I took one star off because I recently learned EVGA requires people who purchase these cards to register them within 14 days of the card's *purchase date* (not shipped or received) in order to qualify for their Step-Up program. If you miss it even by 1 day, well then too bad because they won't budge. Instead, if you want Step-Up, they penalize you by forcing you to buy their 5 year extended warranty for $30/card. In my case, that would be $60 and all for simply missing the registration date by a few days. It's obviously a way for the company to earn extra money but after already giving them $550+, you'd think they'd just make exceptions and let it slide or better yet allow customers to register for Step-Up for the entire 90 day period. Normally I recommend EVGA products and services to others without hesitation but based on principle, I will strongly consider competing brands the next time I buy $1100+ worth of video cards.
