Although a stock 980 Ti is inferior to a Titan X, I'd say that a non-reference or aftermarket 980 Ti, especially with a factory OC, is superior to the Titan X. Same more or less for the Radeon Fury X: although the Fury X has shown itself capable of beating a reference 980 Ti, a non-reference 980...

Good tidings, friends: the Asus GTX 980 Ti Matrix is finally available for pre-order in Newegg and Amazon in the US.

THE MATRIX WILL BE IN AMERICA IN 5 DAYS. And HOLY SMOKES, they're only charging $710 USD for it!!!!!! A lot of reviewers put the North America price at $750 USD, which is where I thought it'd be myself. Amazon and Newegg have pre-orders available. NCIX US and Micro Center do not, nor does Tiger...

Relatively old news but I noticed there was a Tom's Hardware article about some more details being released on the Matrix. We know it's a 14-phase card with memory defrosting and a secure BIOS factory reset button. Asus claims that the Matrix cards are selected from the top 10% of their chips...

Well, judging from the timing of all this, Asus revealed it was "readying" the Strix in early June at Computex. They revealed the sales pitch as well as "pros" such as Auto Extreme fab and Super Alloy 2 components. It was about a month or so before we saw Guru3D release a review of the Strix...

Here's an official Asus ROG article of the Matrix alongside the new Maximus VIII Extreme: http://rog.asus.com/442662015/maximus-motherboards/ifa-2015-rog-maximus-viii-extremeassembly-and-matrix-gtx-980-ti-platinum-on-display/ Nothing really new here except for what 17seconds pointed out: the...

Anyone who's been following this thread, here's some more news: Asus formally revealed the GTX 980 Ti Matrix at IFA 2015 in Berlin last week. They released a picture of the card: As you can see, and as you guessed from the teaser pic earlier in the thread, it is in fact in the new color scheme...

I never realized that little fact about the hybrid blower, I guess that's part of the reason why they are still using just a dual fan design for their best cards. But I mean more like the color scheme and the shroud.... I really like the color scheme on the Matrix card that Cowcotland took...

This morning Asus' ROG page posted this status. "The new Matrix is on the way. Stay tuned September 2nd for ‪#‎IFA15‬. ‪#‎ROGIFA‬" This picture was also included. Now, I believe the timing is right for it to be a GTX 980 Ti. It was almost two months ago that CowCotLand claimed Asus revealed...

This post is pretty old guys xD It was back when the Strix 980 Ti was first announced at Computex. Kinda forgot about this thread since nobody really paid attention to it. But what I know since then is that the Strix DCU3 is pretty cheap. Maybe it's cheaper due to the Auto-Extreme technology...

What will you be paying for the 780 Tis?

Yes, the power supply is NOT something you want to cheap out on. I've heard and read many stories of cheap power supplies, where when you even approach capacity - let alone reach it - bad things happen. Here is just another example. I think you can guess what's the problem with the computer...
