How much power does a GTX 980 draw?
The GeForce GTX 980 Ti’s TDP is 250W, according to Nvidia. But it never reaches that number under normal conditions, except in certain professional applications. None of the usual stress tests manage to push it past the 254W mark.
How powerful is a 980 Ti?
The 980 Ti was a beast of a GPU, it shared the same 601mm2 die with the Titan X and although not all SM units were enabled, it still packed an impressive 2816 CUDA cores, 6GB of GDDR5 memory on a 384-bit wide memory bus, and enjoyed a memory bandwidth of 336.5 GB/s.
How old is a GTX 980?
GeForce 900 (9xx) series
| Model | Launch | Launch price (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| GeForce GTX 970 | September 18, 2014 | $329 |
| GeForce GTX 980 | $549 | |
| GeForce GTX 980 Ti | June 2, 2015 | $649 |
How much vRAM does the GTX 980 have?
The GTX 980 also features 4GB of GDDR5 vRAM and 2048 CUDA cores configured using NVIDIA’s Maxwell architecture. The Maxwell architecture allows the GPU to operate using less power and generates less heat than the previous generation Kepler architecture.
How hot should a GTX 980 get?
As we alluded to earlier, NVIDIA has maintained the familiar 80C default temperature limit for GTX 980 that we saw on all other high-end GPU Boost 2.0 enabled cards.
Is Zotac AMP worth it over reference GTX 980?
Compare that to the reference card’s 165W TDP, which stretches to 205W at 125%. In other words, a reference GeForce GTX 980 has more overclocking flexibility than Zotac’s AMP! Omega. The hardware may be willing, but the BIOS limitations are weak.
How much power does the GTX 980 Ti use?
Our reference 980 Ti under load used 380W in our power testing, while at factory clocks the Zotac Amp! Extreme pulls as much as 456W. With our aggressive overclocks, things are even more intense, peaking at over 500W.
Does Zotac AMP extreme have a GPU overclock?
Their Amp! Extreme comes with a 25 percent GPU overclock, which is actually higher than we were able to push our reference 980 Ti card. As if that’s not enough, Zotac bumps the GDDR5 clocks up three percent over stock as well, making this one of the few 980 Ti cards to ship with overclocked RAM.
How does Zotac’s AMP compare to Zotac Omega?
Omega’s TDP is slightly higher than the reference card by about 5W, according to our testing, hitting about 170W. An 11-percent bump takes it to the 190W range. Compare that to the reference card’s 165W TDP, which stretches to 205W at 125%. In other words, a reference GeForce GTX 980 has more overclocking flexibility than Zotac’s AMP! Omega.
