Review: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+

Conclusion

Building on the foundations laid by GeForce GTX 980 Ti, Nvidia's various partners are bringing custom-cooled and factory-overclocked cards to retail with the promise of more speed, lower temps and reduced noise.

Ticking all of those boxes, EVGA's GTX 980 Ti Superclocked+ ACX+ is a card that despite being first out of the gate, won't easily be bettered when the likes of Asus, Gigabyte and others arrive on the scene.

Well built and shipped with a tidy 1,190MHz boost frequency, this premium solution justifies its price point with top-notch performance at extreme resolutions, comfortable under-load temperatures and a level of noise that ranges between deathly silent and barely audible. Averaging 60fps at a 4K resolution while keeping heat and noise in check is testament to how far Nvidia's Maxwell architecture has been able to stretch, and EVGA has maximised those strengths in a single-GPU package that's as accomplished as they come.

So which graphics card should you buy with a budget of around £600? That's a nice dilemma to have, and right now the GTX 980 Ti Superclocked+ ACX+ is a deserving frontrunner with only one foreseeable caveat: AMD's soon-to-be-unleashed Fury. It's worth waiting a few weeks to see how this battle of giants pans out, but one thing's for certain: Nvidia's army of overclocked GTX 980 Tis will take some beating.
