ASUS GTX980 Ti Matrix SLI Review

Nicely done good sir, and still with the uncontrollable LED Asus (tut tut, please bring in this option) as for the colour I quite actually like the bronze-ish theme although I'd be more impressed if they were to create the mid - high end cards with a neutral base colour scheme and maybe supply an accent decal kit, food for thought ASUS!?!
All in all the Asus republic of gamers GTX 980 Ti Matrix super duper massive huge colossal GTI GTX GT 16v Twin Turbo Injection Twin Cam top level 9999 :lol: sure is an impressive card and those clocks with GPUBoost 2 are incredible, great work on another game changer Asus, maybe work on the name though I'm not sure it's long enough.

I can't figure out what is happening with the graphs anymore. Are the highlighted scores not overclocked? If it was overclocked would it wipe the floor with the Classified and the Lightning? (finally got to that part of the review, I guess still is it just a good factory OC or exceptional card as well)
Very lazy way of adding some meat to the cooler there. Lost my mind at the cough

No overclock dude, I had very little time the single test was actually a bonus.
I may go back and do a single card balls to the wall set of tests but right now I sadly just dont have time.
The fact at stock it does THAT well just goes to show how good it is for most end users to fit and forget though.
Yeah it is very special for typical users. Amazing to see it did the same in an SLI setup too vs. Strix at stock. A Classified/Lightning/Matrix/HOF flagship round-up would make a very special video, got to be an audience for that one despite how much the manufacturers will enjoy it!

Bought this only moments ago based on the review

So apparently the price of the Matrix has risen to over £800 on OCUK now

Nope, I bought 1 and while reading an email the VRM shorted *made me fill my pants XD* so I bought a 2nd while the 1st goes through RMA for a refund plus I'm not a fan of multi GPU setups
PCI-e 16x Risers
Just wondering, could you use 4 of 16x PCI-e risers to have a 4-way SLI with the ASUS GTX980Ti Matrix Platinum card? Likely no 4-way SLI bridges available, but perhaps one could be made, doesn't look like there's much to them. That would be an epic vid!

I have 1 980Ti Matrix Platinum (thanks for your vids on this card, helped me decide to buy - Rogggyyyy!) and a GTX560 DirectCuII I'm going to try to add with a 1x to 16x PCI-e riser. It's only gathering dust now as I only have 1 16x slot, old motherboard. No doubt it will run slower than it did in the 16X slot.
The idea being I only need the 560 to run two displays @ 1920x1080 and keep the 980Ti for 3D rendering with Nvdia IRay (faster if not used as a display device). For gaming I can just enable the 980Ti as a display device and switch my primary monitor to HDMI (from 980Ti) instead of the DVI (from 560) input.
So basically the idea is to mount all my cards vertically (2xGPUs, 1x sound card, 1x SATA 6Gb/s card) instead of horizontally which I've just bought the risers for. I've worked out (I think) I can make supports using a piece of aluminium angle for the top and some flat aluminium for the lower supports slots. Any obvious flaws in my thinking with this plan??
