[en]Gigabyte is amongst the first Nvidia add-in-card (AIC) partners that have decided to introduce a new custom GTX 980 Ti graphics card which is using NVIDIAs latest and greatest GM200-310-A Maxwell chip. For this graphics card, Gigabyte makes use of a custom PCB along with a new version of their Windforce 3X cooler. On the backside of the card, there is a good looking backplate. A quick glance at the specs also reveals that this card ships factory overclocked. Browsing the specifications of this card we find 2816 CUDA cores, 176 TMUs and 96 ROPs. For comparison reasons, the GTX 980 features 2048 CUDA cores, 128 TMUs and 64 ROPs. This means that, compared to the smaller model, there are significantly more CUDA cores, TMUs and ROPs. Looking at the clock speeds of this monster we find 1'190 MHz base clock and 1'291 MHz boost clock, whereas the NVIDIA reference cards run at 1000MHz/1075MHz, therefore there is a massive 20.1% factory overclock on the GPU. [/en][de]Gigabyte gehört mit zu den ersten NVIDIA Add-in-card (AIC) Partnern, die bereits eine neue GTX 980 Ti Grafikkarte nach Eigendesign im Angebot haben. Der Hersteller hat sich dazu entschieden die neue GTX 980 Ti Gaming G1 mit deren Windforce 3X Kühler zu bestücken und darüber hinaus gibt es eine optisch ansprechende Backplate. Des weiteren hat Gigabyte diesen Pixelbeschleuniger, im Vergleich zu Refernzdesign, stark übertaktet. Führen wir uns die finalen Spezifikationen des GM200-300-A1 zu Gemüte, dann finden wir 2816 CUDA Kerne, 176 TMUs und 96 ROPs. Im Vergleich dazu: Die GTX 980 verfügt über 2'048 CUDA Kerne, 128 TMUs und 64 ROPs. Dementsprechend wird schnell ersichtlich, dass NVIDIA die Anzahl der CUDA Kerne sowie die Anzahl der TMUs deutlich gesteigert hat gegenüber dem kleineren Modell. Macht man sich auf die Suche nach den Taktraten, so springt sofort die deutliche werkseitige Übertaktung ins Auge. Der Kerntakt liegt bei 1'190 MHz und der Boosttakt bei 1'291 MHz. Vergleicht man das mit den Referenztaktraten von 1000MHz/1075MHz, dann entspricht das einer Übertaktung um 20.1 Prozent.

[/fr][it]Gigabyte, è uno dei primi partner Nvidia che ha deciso di introdurre una versione custom della GTX 980 Ti basata su chip GM200-310-A Maxwell. Gigabyte utilizza un nuovo PCB personalizzato e impiega su questo modello una nuova versione dell'ormai famoso dissipatore Windforce 3X. La Gigabyte GTX 980 Ti Gaming G1 è equipaggiata con un backplate ed utilizza frequenze non reference, in altre parole è overclockata. La scheda, come anticipato, utilizza un chip GM200-310-A che racchiude 2816 CUDA core, 176 TMU e 96 ROP. Per fornire un quadro completo, il precedente modello ossia la GTX 980 offriva di 2048 CUDA core, 128 TMU e 64 ROP. In altre parole, NVIDIA ha incrementato qualsiasi aspetto su questa nuova scheda di fascia alta. Le frequenze della scheda reference sono impostate a 1190 MHz sul core e 1291 MHz sul boost, mentre la versione qui proposta offre 1000 MHz sul core e 1075 MHz sul boost. [/it] 
[en]As we already mentioned, Gigabyte decided to use a significant factory-overclock on their new GTX 980 Ti Gaming G1. While the reference GTX 980 Ti is set to work at 1000 MHz for the base clock and 1075 MHz for the GPU boost clock, the GTX 980 Ti Gaming G1 runs at 1'190 MHz base clock and 1'291 MHz boost clock. When it comes to memory clock speeds we see a slight, 200 MHz frequency boost, which makes the chips run at 7200 MHz. Combine this with a 384 Bit memory interface and you end up with a total of 345.6 Gigabyte of memory bandwidth. Whereas the typical boost clock is set at 1'317 MHz, the maximum boost of 1'404 MHz was achieved quite easily and the GTX 980 Ti Gaming G1 held that clock most of the load time due to the capable Windforce 3X cooler as well as good TDP target (nVidia's Boost technology being power-based and not temperature-based on this card). [/en][de]Wie wir bereits erwähnten, hat sich Gigabyte dazu entscheiden die Karte bereits ab Werk stark zu übertakten. Hält man sich vor Augen, dass die GTX 980 Ti nach Referenzdesign ihren Dienst mit 1000 MHz Basis- und 1075 MHz Boosttakt verrichtet, dann wird klar, dass die Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Gaming G1 mit 1190 MHz Basis- und 1291 MHz Boosttakt doch etwas schneller ans Werk geht. Führen wir uns die Tatkraten des Speichers zu Gemüte, dann finden wir eine Übertaktung um 200 MHz im Vergleich zum Referenzdesign. In Kombination mit dem verbauten 384-Bit-Speicherinterface reicht das für 336.5 Gigabyte Speicherbandbreite. Während sich der typische Boosttakt bei 1'317 MHz befindet, liegt der maximale Boosttakt bei satten 1'404 MHz. In diesem Zusammenhang gilt anzumerken, dass die GTX 980 Ti Gaming G1 in der Lage ist diesen Takt konstant zu halten, was nicht zuletzt dank des Windforce 3X Kühlers der Fall ist.[/de][fr]As we already mentioned, Gigabyte decided to use a significant factory-overclock on their new GTX 980 Ti Gaming G1.

[/fr][it]Come potete osservare dalle schermate di seguito relative a GPU-Z, Gigabyte ha deciso di utilizzare delle frequenze piuttosto spinte sulla nuova GTX 980 Ti Gaming G1. Mentre la reference lavora con 1000 MHz sulla GPU con un boost di 1075 MHz, la versione qui analizzata ha una frequenza base di 1190 MHz e un boost pari a 1291 MHz. Anche le memorie subiscono un leggero ma pur sempre simile trattamento, Gigabyte alza la frequenza a 7200 MHz. Con una interfaccia di memoria di 384-bit la banda totale di memoria arriva a 345.5 Gigabyte. Il boost di base è fissato a 1317 MHz ma la massima frequenza tocca facilmente 1404 MHz merito soprattutto del dissipatore Gaming G1 e del buon target TDP. La tecnologia boost di Nvidia si basa sul raffreddamento e sul consumo della scheda. [/it]  [en]Specifications[/en][de]Spezifikationen[/de][fr]Spécifications[/fr][it]Specifiche tecniche[/it]
