Galax GTX 980 HOF Suggestion

[ChrisCross]

Galax, formerly Galaxy just announced their 900 series HOF series cards and they look absolutely stunning! I would love to see Tom review this beast, as it's the fastest out of the box clocked 980 right now with a 1418mhz boost clock.

Now before anyone says "You can't tell Tom what to do" "This is Toms Channel not yours"
This forum section is called Suggestions for a reason. I am fully aware that Tom can review whatever he damn pleases and is extremely busy. Im also aware that he HATES white PCB's luckily the pcb on this card is fully hidden behind a backplate. And if he's still not interested because he still knows the white pcb is there then so be it. This is simply a review suggestion plain and simple, and I would LOVE to see Tom OC the snot out of this thing and hear his thoughts on it.

So Tom if you feel inclined to want to review this then here is their Marketing Manager Andrew's contact email - marketing@galaxytechus.com

[NeverBackDown]

Not a bad looking card tbh.

Awesome, Hopefully you'll be able to get your hands on a review sample!

I'm going to be popping in two of these beasts into my x99 system as soon as I can -

 

[Feronix]

Do want.

 

[MadShadow]

God damn, that is one good looking backplate!

They realise it's spelt Hoth right? That white planet where it all kicked off in Empire?

Haha, if they re-named it to that, I would buy it in a heart-beat

On a side note, hoth is awesome; best map of Star Wars: Battlefront II if anyone played that

Nah, just short for Hall Of Fame

I'm pretty sure naming products after movie references is a bad idea haha.

Not if its Star Wars!

Hey Tom,

I just got an pm from Galax's marketing manager and according to him he has not received anything about an inquiry on getting a review sample.

Again his contact email is -




Heres a screenshot as proof -

Needs moar white! :lol: This is one Fugly card. Overkill with the white, plain and simple. I'm still bemused as to why anyone would put a white PCB gpu onto a black PCB motherboard... it's just aesthetically wrong.

Well, this one's got a decent backplate. And honestly it wouldn't look bad in a build like mine at all:

 

[Wraith]

So you'd buy this GPU just for the backplate?

 

[TPC]

I like it though

 

[Feronix]

No, just for the white sexiness...

But I don't have the money for it anyway, so guess I'm plasti-dippin' my 760

 

[remember300]

I like it, just hope they are not stuck with coil whine, like the one i dealt with for a friend (970 gtx OC ed.).

 

[CreatiXx]

Nope i'd buy it cause its a lovely GPU! you can build an all white PC and using a black motherboard to give some contrast,depends on how you use it

 

[barnsley]

Looks like someones Rubbed a Zotac and a Gigabyte GPU together and left the white mess on. Too much white, then again it'd be refreshing to actually paint something black for once.
