With a all new cooling design and a Factory Overclock is over 200MHz above reference, the ASUS GTX 980Ti Strix is GPU which demands our attention. Let's have a look

Too much red for my liking TBH, Would have been nice if they stuck with the stealthy black look.
It would look nicer if the GPU core backplate was black. That tiny red square doesn't really fit well with the rest of backplate as it's the only red and looks out of place/afterthought
and we're not going to see the fan side anyway once installed.
Also the red crosshair on the blackplate... so still looks dude.
WOW! great looking card with great specs, would agree with some other folk and have to make the red black or titanium for myself but still.... niiice!
I have been in two minds about getting a Ti this only makes the decision harder.
My dilemma has been would spending this amount on a card, this awesome, be the right thing to do with the next generation Pascal GPU's coming next year with 3D memory etc?
Either way its still a great card.... dribble!
I knowTake it off and paint it black

What worries me the most is the lack of RAM cooling. Seems to be the same general design as the Matrix coolers, which also lacks RAM cooling. I really dislike this. It's possible that ASUS feels RAM cooling is overrated, however it certainly doesn't make me feel comfortable buying graphics cards with this design any longer.
And yes, get rid of the red colors![]()
I don't understand what the obsession is with cooling VRAM. 99% of all GPUs have a massive chunk of it on the back side of a card left un-cooled.
It's always been known that cooling any sort of memory is purely cosmetic.![]()
