EVGA GeForce GTX 980 ACX 2.0 4GB

The EVGA GeForce GTX 980 ACX 2.0 is a graphics card built on the NVIDIA Maxwell architecture with 4GB of GDDR5 memory across a 256-bit interface. It connects via PCI Express 3.0 x16 and operates at a 1.13 GHz core clock with a 1.22 GHz boost clock. The dual-slot cooler uses optimized swept fan blades and double ball bearings. Outputs include HDMI, DisplayPort, and dual-link DVI.

Suited for 1080p Maxwell builds, not modern 4K

This card suits builders assembling a period-correct GTX 900 series system or upgrading an older PCIe 3.0 platform for 1080p gaming. It supports Dynamic Super Resolution to render at higher resolutions and downscale to a 1080P display. Buyers targeting current AAA titles at 4K, ray tracing workloads, or PCIe 4.0 bandwidth should look at newer architectures instead.

Fits dual-slot space with standard PCIe power

The dual-slot form factor requires a case with two adjacent expansion slots and a power supply equipped with the necessary PCIe connectors for the GTX 980. A PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot provides the interface bandwidth. The ACX 2.0 cooler exhausts heat into the chassis, so case airflow must handle the thermal load. HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI outputs free up adapter choices for single or multi-monitor setups.

Questions about this item

What power supply connectors does the GTX 980 need?

The card draws power through the PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and requires an additional 6-pin and 8-pin connector from the PSU.

Will the GTX 980 run in an older PCIe 2.0 motherboard?

Yes, the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots at reduced bandwidth.

How do I verify the 1.22 GHz boost clock is active?

Run a GPU load tool such as EVGA Precision X and watch the core frequency rise to 1.22 GHz under 3D workloads.
