GTX 980 Gaming 4GB GDDR5
This MSI graphics card uses the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 GPU with 4GB of GDDR5 memory. It belongs to the GeForce GTX 900 Series and targets gamers and builders who want a PCIe 3.0 x16 add-in card for 1080p gaming or multi-monitor productivity.
PCIe 3.0 x16 SLI Ready
The card plugs into a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and draws power from the board and supplementary connectors your supply provides. It offers one HDMI, one DisplayPort and one DVI output for up to three displays, while SLI Ready certification lets you pair a second identical card when your motherboard and power supply support the configuration.
4GB Frame Buffer Headroom
Four gigabytes of GDDR5 handle modern 1080p titles with high texture settings and give breathing room for light content creation or dual-monitor workloads. The buffer becomes the limiting factor at 1440p ultra presets or in newer titles that exceed 4GB VRAM, so expect to lower texture quality or resolution in those scenarios.
