6GB GDDR5 frame buffer
The card ships with 6GB of GDDR5 memory on a 384-bit bus, providing enough bandwidth for high-resolution textures and compute workloads. It targets enthusiasts who want 4K-capable performance without moving to a newer architecture. The 2816 CUDA cores and three selectable BIOS profiles let users trade clock speed for acoustics. DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.4 support cover current API requirements.
Sustained load behaviour
Under continuous load the GPU can run at the Gaming Mode clocks of 1140 MHz base and 1228 MHz boost, or drop to Silent Mode at 1000 MHz base and 1076 MHz boost for quieter operation. OC Mode raises the ceiling to 1178 MHz base and 1279 MHz boost with memory reaching 7096 MHz effective. The triple-fan cooler is designed to maintain these frequencies over extended sessions rather than only brief bursts.
PCI Express 3.0 x16 limits
The PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface delivers up to 16 GT/s per lane, which is sufficient for the card's 384-bit memory subsystem and 4K output at 4096 x 2160. Display outputs include one HDMI, three DisplayPort and one dual-link DVI-I, supporting four simultaneous monitors. Bandwidth saturation only becomes a concern with multi-GPU configurations or external capture devices not present in this single-card scenario.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G get when running all day in Silent Mode?
In Silent Mode the core clock is set to 1000 MHz with a 1076 MHz boost, which reduces heat output compared to the higher modes; the Twin Frozr cooler uses dual fans and a large heatsink to manage temperatures quietly during extended sessions.
What power connectors must my supply already have for this GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G?
The card requires two 8-pin PCIe power connectors from your power supply to deliver enough current for the 2816 CUDA cores and 6 GB GDDR5 memory.
Can I keep my older Dual-link DVI-I monitor while adding newer DisplayPort screens on this GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G?
Yes, the card provides one Dual-link DVI-I, one HDMI and three DisplayPort outputs, supporting up to four monitors simultaneously at a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160.
